I am from Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. My Bachelor and Master's degrees are obtained from Xiamen University Malaysia. After graduating with a master's degree, I served as a research fellow at the Centre of Research on Southeast Asian Chinese Documents found by Xiamen University Malaysia, to research the history of overseas Chinese, Chinese temples in Southeast Asia, and Chinese popular religion. Currently, I am focusing on the changing power of the Malacca Chinese leadership in the 19th century under the supervision of Prof Kenneth Dean.

Thesis Title: A Study of the Changing Power of the Malacca Chinese Community Leadership Structure in the Tengzhu Era -- Perspective from Temple Network of Malacca and Singapore (1824-1915) (Tentative)

By using the Chinese temple epigraphy in Singapore and Malacca, and collaborating with official archives and other historical materials, this study aims to understand the impact and changes of the power network formed behind the temples in the two places towards the Chinese community in Malacca during the Tengzhu era, and to investigate the process of changing power of its leadership structure.
