39. TESTIMONIAL
“I always thought I would be a
chemical engineer or researcher.
When I entered the Business
Leaders Programme in 2013, that’s
when I realised my true passion lay
in entrepreneurship. Creating value
for others in my own way was
something I valued that I was not
aware of till BLP.”Zixuan
