Norashekin Bt Daud developed Ashekin Rich Resources to provide the community with Mutiara Al Hidayah Funeral Management Complete Set Funeral Packages, Muslim Funeral Training, Pre-Wedding classes, and a placental management programme. Ashekin Rich Resources offers presentations to young people to help them understand funeral rituals and traditions and provide significant exposure to the topics mentioned.

Ashekin Rich Resources additionally offers the Mutiara Al Hidayah Funeral Management Complete Set. At the same time, this package is pretty complete for using bath preparation and shrouding the corpse at a low price, whether a male or a female. The majority of its revenue is from funeral packages, provides low-cost services to Malaysians of all socioeconomic backgrounds, and has attracted many customers for CSR purposes, with earnings donated to mosques and nongovernmental organisations.

According to Norashekin, a large percentage of Malaysian Muslims cannot afford these funeral packages, which range from RM800 to RM1.5k. Norshekin believes that everyone should be able to afford these services. Hence, Ashekin Rich Resources provides packages starting from RM250. Additionally, Norashekin offers group programmes as cheap as RM 50 for the Infaq Program, which allows you to buy and present funeral kits.

Norashekin, a stage 2 breast cancer survivor, despite being visually impaired, has successfully expanded her influence by visiting Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. In the future, Ashekin Rich Resources aspires to add additional locations in the East Coast region by 2023, attract more stockists by 2024, and set afoot in Cambodia as a new destination to invest in.

Daniel Ong

Kardinal Industries (M) Sdn Bhd

INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEUR IN TECHNOLOGY DESIGN

The 42-year-old Daniel Ong is a native of Malacca. After completing his studies, Daniel’s plans would be initially shaped by his infatuation with the dot-com trend in 1995. He set his sights on technology and worked towards attaining the Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) accreditation.

The dot-com market burst in 2000, but that did not stop Daniel from venturing into technology for which he already had credentials. The ideal match came in Campaign and Direct Marketing, which occupied his attention from 2001 to 2006. Daniel’s knowledge and influence in this field were rising, but a new challenge was running through his veins.

No amount of training or experience could have prepared him for his next construction enterprise. Daniel saw this as a pivotal and career-changing chance. As a result, he stayed in this industry for nine years, learning its intricacies. It could have been a life-long career for Daniel, but he is an ambitious man who recognises opportunities when he steps outside of his comfort zone. Thus, in 2016, he made the courageous decision to try his hand in the electronic technology company he is currently in. www.kardinalstick.com

Daniel’s management strategy is straightforward: drive new solutions for consumers and clients. This is precisely Kardinal Stick’s DNA. He was quick to point out that the company’s success is mainly due to the incredible talent and dedication of the crew. They work together to achieve Kardinal’s vision of regional and international expansion and ultimately abolishing tobacco dependence. Even though this electronic solution is available in over 30 countries, Daniel is confident that there are still more countries to reach, which is his next task.
