I am a senior lecturer at the National University of Malaysia (UKM). My research interests are economic history and global history (imperialism, colonialism, environment). I hold a PhD from UKM in history, focusing on the influence and implementation of imperial economic policies in Malaya, particularly in the Federated Malay States (FMS) during the interwar period.
My current research examines the standard of living in Malaya during the interwar period, funded by the GGPM UKM Research Grant (2024-2026). Additionally, I am in the final phase of research on colonial meteorological models in Malaya. This study investigates weather pattern changes and their impact on commercial crop activities, funded by the FRGS Grant from the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (2022-2025).
I am a lifetime member of the Malaysian Historical Society. Currently, I am also a member of the Economic History Society, the Economic History Association, and the Cliometric Society. Previously, I served as a Student Ambassador for the Economic History Society.
In Malaysia, the field of economic history has received limited attention from local researchers. I warmly welcome collaborations, both domestic and international, to explore this field, especially to advance the study of economic history in Malaysia.
