Everybody knows but not everyone is prepared for the hard work that needs to be put in when starting a brand-new venture. Just ask John-Hans Oei, the Co-Founder of Microbs, a waste management solution company that provides environment-friendly technology in treating industrial waste. Oei faced the challenges of jumping into a market that he had no prior experience with and struggled with changing the mindset of the older generation of decision makers.

Last year, when we spoke to Oei, the Co-Founder of Microbs, the business was already steadily expanding across shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and factories in Malaysia and Singapore (you can find the full interview here). This year, we found out that in his free time, Oei loves powerlifting and not only that, he runs a separate organisation called the Malaysian Powerlifting Alliance that also organises powerlifting tournaments around the region. We sit down with Oei to talk about how he manages to keep this delicate balance between his work and play, and find the time to do both.

Lexus RX 300

The Lexus RX 300 sits comfortably between the smaller Lexus NX compact crossover and the larger Lexus RX 350 L. The RX 300 offers a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged direct injection engine that is capable of 350Nm of torque and has 235 horsepower. The longer wheelbase of the RX series results in greater legroom in the rear seats and a larger luggage compartment for those with a more active lifestyle. The SUV is designed to the exacting standards of a Lexus in terms of the performance and luxury elements within the vehicle.
