Feature Article – Mr. Mark Phooi, Founder and Principal of FMDS was featured in our local newspaper, The Sunday Times on August 11th, 2013. An inspiring and somewhat blatantly truthful interview-like article titled ‘Still hungry after all these years’ narrates Mark’s journey to success, a journey less travelled by many and how he clawed out of poverty to where he is today.
From being a car-door opener and sleeping on a ply-wood in the kitchen previously to owning a couple of luxury cars and properties now, this article is a must read! If you ever think that all hope is lost and that you will never make it in life, think again. As Mark always tell others, “You need to have PhD to succeed in life: Passion, Hunger and Discipline.”
