After One year - Good bye CONTRAVES - Early retirement

End of June 2019, the company offered me to leave the company with pocket money. Well.. i feel why not. There's nothing much i can do in that company anymore. We dont want anymore new business, the government are not going to have new projects and my job basically are over. 
The sum offered not much compared to what they gain from my effort, but its better than nothing.
After 5 minutes discussion, i signed the letter, and pack my things.
This shocked everybody and teary goodbye from everyone.

A week after that, I managed to get the clearance from income-tax department and the money full in my bank. I planned my holiday.

5th Septtember , I fly to Beijing, few days later I jumped into the Orient train and started the trans-Siberian Journey to Europe. Beijing- Scotland trip.

My complete story will be post in my travel blog " Step by Step to see the world - Travel Cheap"

I spent almost 3 months in Europe and mostly London. I travel almost 10 cities, 7 countries and many many amazing historical and beautiful places. I will share all about it .

I have different set of mind all together, i move house, sell ikan bilis (anchovies) in Masjid, learn about Islam more and try to get my life as simple as possible.
I make my self busy in charity organization and visit many of my friend and relatives . Actual fact are,




I am more busy while i am jobless .

But after awhile, there are bunch of young entrepreneur approach me asked for assistance and support in their business, and I am more than happy to contribute something. Now I have 6 young man who are potential, smart and want to start their own business. We have meeting every forthnight, looking at the projects and their progress , while taking notes where they lack and how to overcome it. Surprisingly these young man have more contacts (better network) than i am when i started my business 20 years ago.
I am sure they will be successful in matter of time.

While i am a business consultant for these Young Entrepreneur Group, I am also supported my friend company as their Business Development Director (work from Home) to build and supply boat/ blocks/ piping  to Malaysia Maritime Industry and oil & Gas industry. 

And, with these arrangement, i can still attend my religious class in Masjid /online , do charity works and still contribute to Malaysian defence Industry.

Retirement is when people have to carry you to your last residence - Graveyard
