Our special guests:

Having worked on rental markets, pricing, and affordability across KL and major cities, he brings practical insights from both the investor and renter side.
Colin Soh is the founder of Nasi Lemak Shop, an F&B phenomenon known for its multi-outlet success and "never-ending queues".
Dynamic founder of the Nasi Lemak Shop, a buzzing F&B phenomenon who proved that grit and resilience—even after early business failures—can transform a simple idea into a multi-million-dollar brand. He scaled this nasi lemak concept into a profitable empire by applying a unique, almost military-like approach to quality, which includes his famous 5 a.m. rounds and obsessive attention to detail.
Jon Lee is the creative force and founder behind Penrose & Lavantha. An award-winning bartender at DRiNK Magazine Bar Award in June 2025.
He made the brave decision to leave a top bar in Singapore to start over in Malaysia, building a world-class F&B brand on unconventional principles and challenging industry norms. His unique business model transformed his journey from a burned-out chef to an award-winning bartender, prioritizing craft, team, and culture over chasing a quick profit to create a profitable and sustainable international brand.
