New Website at wilsonbeh.com - Bye Blogger I still love you though :)

I've been blogging using this site for almost 5 years since 2006 - and I like blogger for its simplicity and features :)

However it's time for me to move on, as blogger is just not the permanent place for me.

Visit http://wilsonbeh.com proudly hosted by Exabytes. It's much more complicated as it's a domain :-)

currently-no-title will still remain as no title, still thinking whether to transfer all the posts to new website :P

Cheers for life!

A platform that gathers 500 Malaysian Youth Leaders who are passionate and dedicated to making positive changes in their communities and in the world.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

AIESEC is the world‟s largest youth-run organization with over 60 years of experience in developing high-potential youths into global-minded responsible leaders. Focused on providing a platform for youth leadership development, AIESEC enables its members the opportunity to participate in international internships, experience leadership and interact with a global network to support their development. For more information on AIESEC, visit http://www.aiesec.my/.

myHarapan [“my hope” or “harapan ku”] is a Youth Trust Foundation that supports youth and youth projects that contribute to the social economy of Malaysia by providing platforms and opportunities. Much has been said about nurturing the youth as future leaders, but these "future leaders" are very often not given the opportunity to voice out their views, to develop their social initiative projects, for the betterment of our country. This is where myHarapan steps in. For more information on myHarapan, visit http://myharapan.org/.
