Editor’s Note
Dream big, work hard and make it happen—that’s what comes to mind when I think of our February cover stars Mohd Hafizi Radzi and Izree Kai Haffiz. Since the establishment of their label Fiziwoo nearly a decade ago, back when Hafizi was barely 20 years old, mind you, Fizi and his business partner Kai have stuck by this credo throughout their fashion career. Winning recognition and accolades with their signature flamboyant collections worn by royalty and the social elite, they never lost touch of their humble beginnings, when they barely survived on just one meal a day andd RM40 a month. In our exclusive interview with the dynamic duo (page 110), we talk to them about the struggles and difficulties they enduredured and how they hustled to achieve theirheir dreams. Their self-made success storyory will touch and warm your heart at the same time, because it is hard-won. In the same vein, read about the father-son mentor relationship of Datukatuk Seri Michael Yam and James Yam (pageage 54). Wanting to leave behind a legacy of his own, the seasoned real estate veteran passes on his knowledge and values to his son, while giving him the trust and support in running their business. If you’ve tasted the velvety smooth ice cream called Minus 4 Degrees, you would want to know more about the mother-daughter duo behind the brand, Kim Ngoh and Sarah Tan (page 140). Talk about shared passions, passing on the torch and investing in the future! As they say, time waits for no man… or woman.
