WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS YOU, HOW DO YOU FIGHT BACK AND WIN ANYWAY?

This isn’t just another inspirational talk.
This is a real-life roadmap from a man who’s been through the fire — and came out not just surviving, but thriving.

Join us as Engineer Melvin Ng shares the unfiltered truth about his journey from University Sains Malaysia (USM) to becoming a key leader at QDOS, one of Malaysia’s most dynamic engineering companies.
But this isn’t a neat success story.

It’s about struggle. About rejection. About being the underdog.
And most importantly — about what it really takes to rise anyway.

WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT DIFFERENT?

Most events tell you what success looks like.
This one tells you what it costs.

Melvin’s story will challenge what you think you know about careers, education, failure, and the real world.

He opens up about:

  • Being told he wasn’t enough

  • Struggling through systems designed to make people quit

  • Losing opportunities — and creating new ones himself

  • The emotional toll of being overlooked — and how he rose above it

  • What he learned on the journey that no classroom ever taught

And how all of this shaped the leader and builder he is today.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This roundtable is for:

  • Students who feel like the world is moving without them

  • Engineers & professionals stuck in cycles of burnout or feeling unseen

  • Dreamers building something from scratch

  • Anyone tired of motivational fluff and ready to hear real talk from someone who’s lived it

If you’ve ever asked:

  • “What’s the point of trying if the system is broken?”

  • “How do I keep going when nothing’s working?”

  • “Is it possible to start from scratch and still win?”

Then this session is for YOU.

THIS ISN’T JUST A TALK.

It’s a call to every young person who feels lost, overlooked, or underestimated.
It’s a reminder that you are not alone, and your story isn’t over.

In Melvin’s words, “Sometimes you don’t need a perfect plan — just the will to keep swimming.”

SPOTS ARE LIMITED – AND YOU NEED TO BE THERE.
