    As a full time emcee, I hosted a multitude of shows ranging from the grandiose and highly formal military parades to a multitude of award ceremonies, dinners and seminars. There are other events where I would adopt more informal tone in company cohesion events, concerts and media showcases. One of my major highlights was getting the opportunity to host NDP alongside Joakim Gomez and Siti Khalijah at the Padang. Additionally, I have dabbled in the limelight with my role as Stamford Raffles in 2023's National Day Observance Ceremony at Gombak Camp.
