Fear.

A human emotion that we can't escape from.

It keeps us alive and limits us at the same time.

Thank you @tedxklofficial and @cerventus for giving me this platform to share my thoughts on it.

It's such an amazing experience to be able to share the stage with some of these amazing people who've inspired me.

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade.

I am a medical doctor turned tech entrepreneur.

It's funny how you can plan your life but life has other plans for you.

I now run @disruptivedoctors with my cofounder @viveksubramaniam88

Final year, O&G posting in Indonesia. I begged my resident every single day to let me deliver a baby. Then my body had other plans.

As doctors, we all have an embarrassing story like this. Tell me yours in the comments. I want to hear it.

For years I thought being a better doctor meant more hard skills.

The difficult patient. The difficult superior. The extra paperwork. I survived every one of them. I never grew from them.

As doctors, we spend years training our hands. When do we train the person behind the white coat?

The only time in my career I walked out of an OT before the surgery was done.

An organ donor. A brain-dead hawker in his 50s, and a wife who said yes.

As doctors, we carry some cases for life. Which one do you carry?

Fear keeps us alive. It also limits us.

I learned this on the wall, as a doctor who was terrified of falling. I spoke about it on the TEDx stage.

These are the 3 things I learned. Over the next few weeks, I'll break each one down.

Which one do you need to hear today: 1, 2 or 3?

My first death taught me to switch off.

It got me through. Until it didn't.

As doctors, how many of us switched it off too?

'What's the one thing you wish you knew before becoming a doctor?'

He didn't even pause: "I shouldn't be a doctor."

Two emergency housemen, same shift, same honesty. "It's more like how much life it consumes." The missed birthdays. The family arguments. Patients who don't always appreciate it.

If you're wondering what housemanship in Malaysia is really like right now — this is it, from two doctors still in it. And they're not alone: the number of housemen keeps going down.

Every junior doctor has thought it. Almost no one says it on camera.

There's more to being a doctor than the ward.
Careers. Connections. Opportunities. AI tools — in one place.

Tag a houseman who's in it right now. 👇

2 days. 5 stages. 100+ speakers. 1,100+ doctors who refuse to settle.

DD CON 2026 wasn't a conference you sat through. It was doctors talking honestly about the things we usually only say in the corridor — the career you didn't plan for, the clinic that's bleeding money, the AI everyone's using but no one's explaining, the longevity practice you've been curious about but never had a straight answer on.

Main stages. GP Skills Lab. Pocket Talks. Solutions Hub. And in between all of it — doctors meeting the people who'd been solving the same problem alone on the other side of the country.

Thank you to every doctor, speaker, trainer and partner who showed up at The Space, Menara KEN TTDI on 4–5 September and made it what it was.

This is what it looks like when doctors stop waiting for permission.

SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE.

Disruptive Doctors — impacting healthcare differently.

DDCON2026 has left me speechless.

This team worked tirelessly the entire year to create something different for our community — the disruptive doctors who think differently.

And every year it gets harder.

Because we keep raising the standard. The talks. The environment. The overall experience.

We refuse to deliver just another medical conference.

The feedback said it best:

“This didn’t feel like a typical medical conference.”

It felt like a reunion.

Colleagues from housemanship days. Specialists whose paths had diverged. People reconnecting after years apart, laughing, sharing stories, and remembering why they started.

And beyond the reconnection — doors opened. New opportunities. New collaborations. New possibilities that many said they didn’t expect to find here.

The programme was world-class.
The people made it unforgettable.
The opportunities made it meaningful.

That’s why the pressure keeps growing every year. Higher expectations. Higher standards. And we’re ready for it.

I'm so grateful and humbled by this opportunity to build something meaningful.

Already thinking about how we raise the bar again for DDCON2027
