FESIG 50th Meeting with Malaysia's Innovation Ambassador Robest Yong - 7th March 2018

The 50th FESIG Meeting commenced on the 7th March 2018 with the chair Crystal introducing award winning Inventor, Robest Yong Han Aun, Malaysia's Innovation Ambassador.

He presented his inventions, to begin with, his earliest one, the rubber stamps, making them in 5 mins, then his blind man’s mobile phone. He showed how a blind man can use a touch phone to send text as fast as anybody else. He then showed his phone apps.

How do they know which button to touch? His innovation is just a sticker with holes punched or embossed. He introduced the Blind man’s ‘Waze App’ on locating places. He stressed that innovations must be simple and cheap to be beneficial to most.

He demonstrated how simple innovation can be with a good example like tying a rubber band as coaching to the young. Then he went on to present his wife, Teng Yu M-Mein’s award winning innovation.

He talked about how the aborigines of the rainforest of Malaysia get unclean water to consume. His wife having noticed how this wasn’t good for them came up with great idea… watch the whole video to find out. Pardon the technical hitches of background loud scratching noise, that seemed to come from Robest's and Crystal's locations.

Stephane sneaked in some glimpses of his work.

Thanks to co-chair Fraz's quick action, this video turned out not so bad after all. This 1st session then adjourned to the 2nd one where Anthony Zender speaks.
