during the 60s and 70s, I didn\\u2019t pay much attention to my education, which left me with a weak foundation when I reached college. My English skills were minimal, making studies even more challenging. However, my determination to succeed was unwavering. I worked hard to earn my qualifications, and in 1993, I achieved a significant milestone by obtaining my Chartered Accountant license from New Zealand.&quot;},{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Journey Into Entrepreneurship&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;I&#039;ve always had a passion for work and a firm belief that anything is possible. I thrive on challenges. In my early twenties, I decided to venture into business on my own. I left my job as an Audit Senior and established my own accounting firm, SL Ling &amp; Co., in Kota Kinabalu. I was driven by the belief that I could create something different in my life.&quot;},{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Humble Beginnings&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;I started with very little, and went door to door seeking business opportunities. With a small team, we all took on multiple roles. I spent my mornings as a marketer and my nights handling administration, while my beloved wife kindly helped with secretarial work. It was a challenging time, but we worked together to build something from the ground up.&quot;},{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;A New Chapter&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Being young and ambitious, I embraced every challenge that came my way. In 2002, I dissolved SL Ling &amp; Co&#039;s branch to establish Lim Su Chung &amp; Co. Driven by a commitment to continuous improvement in quality and reliability, we rebranded Ling &amp; Lim Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd to Ideal Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd in 2006, welcoming new partners to our team.\\n\\nIn 2008, we joined INPACT Asia Pacific as a member, and by 2011, we became partners with Cheng &amp; Co Group, Malaysia&#039;s largest homegrown accounting firm.\\n\\nBelieving that the growth of a leader directly impacts the growth of the business, I pursued and completed an MBA at Hult International Business School in 2015.\\n&quot;},{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Awards Of Excellence&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;In 2016, we were honored with the \\u201cImpactful Lifestyle Brand\\u201d award from Sin Chew Daily\\u2019s Time Honor Brand Awards, and received the \\u201cHonesty Enterprise\\u201d accolade at the 14th Asia Pacific International Honesty Enterprise - Keris Award. Our commitment to innovation was recognized again in 2019, when GA Space won the Malaysian People\\u2019s Choice Award at the Asian Rice Bowl Start-up Awards. By 2021, GA Space was officially approved as a Digital Hub by MDEC.&quot;},{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Empowering Entrepreneurs&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;I believe that businesses cannot thrive in communities that fail. In 2016, I founded GA Space to empower 200,000 entrepreneurs through entrepreneurship programs; and mentoring and coaching by Vistage International, aiming to create a sustainable entrepreneurial community.\\n\\nIn 2019, we launched the G&amp;A Transformation Program and initiated V Creator, a Startup Pitch Competition. Additionally, we partnered with the government agency DIDR to support the creation of 100 entrepreneurs annually.\\n&quot;},{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Building Sustainable Growth&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;To support sustainable growth, we became a XERO Gold Partner in 2017, focusing on digitalising SME businesses. In 2022, G&amp;A Group joined Baker Tilly Malaysia, where I took on the role of managing partner for Sabah and Sarawak. Baker Tilly is one of the largest audit, tax, and advisory firms in Malaysia, with 60 Partners and Directors, 8 offices nationwide, and a team of over 1,000 professionals. With more than 40 years of experience, we are further strengthened by our connection to an international network of specialists across 148 territories.&quot;}],&quot;labelLocation&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;labelTypo&quot;:{&quot;fontSize&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:24,&quot;tablet&quot;:16,&quot;mobile&quot;:16},&quot;fontWeight&quot;:700,&quot;fontVariant&quot;:&quot;700&quot;,&quot;isUploadFont&quot;:false,&quot;lineHeight&quot;:&quot;135%&quot;,&quot;letterSpace&quot;:&quot;2px&quot;},&quot;align&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;itemPosition&quot;:&quot;right&quot;,&quot;startIndex&quot;:1,&quot;visibleItems&quot;:4,&quot;vigibleItems&quot;:4,&quot;moveItem&quot;:2,&quot;verticalTrigger&quot;:&quot;150px&quot;,&quot;rtlMode&quot;:false,&quot;barBackground&quot;:&quot;#dddddd&quot;,&quot;barDotColor&quot;:&quot;#dddddd&quot;,&quot;itemBg&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;,&quot;itemColor&quot;:&quot;#333333&quot;,&quot;itemTypo&quot;:{&quot;fontSize&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:14,&quot;tablet&quot;:14,&quot;mobile&quot;:14}},&quot;horizontalDatePosition&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;itemBorder&quot;:{&quot;width&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#cccccc&quot;},&quot;contentBorder&quot;:{&quot;width&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;style&quot;:&quot;solid&quot;,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#72aee6&quot;},&quot;labelColor&quot;:&quot;#222222&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;timelineBar&quot;:{&quot;width&quot;:&quot;3px&quot;,&quot;dotSize&quot;:20,&quot;progressBarbgColor&quot;:{&quot;color&quot;:&quot;linear-gradient(to bottom, #ff6a00, #ee0979)&quot;}},&quot;dateStyles&quot;:{&quot;dateTypo&quot;:{&quot;fontSize&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:14,&quot;tablet&quot;:14,&quot;mobile&quot;:14}},&quot;dateColor&quot;:&quot;black&quot;,&quot;dateContainerSize&quot;:50,&quot;dateBg&quot;:{&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#06b6d4&quot;}},&quot;TrpContentRestriction&quot;:{&quot;restriction_type&quot;:&quot;exclude&quot;,&quot;selected_languages&quot;:[],&quot;panel_open&quot;:true}}'><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Story G&amp;A Group was established in Kota Kinabalu Sabah in 1999 and has become one of the fastest growing firm in Malaysia In the late &#8217;90s, a group of&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"#gspb_image-id-gsbp-cb47d03 img.aos-animate,#gspb_image-id-gsbp-cb47d03 img[data-gs-aos],#gspb_image-id-gsbp-dba0d76 img.aos-animate,#gspb_image-id-gsbp-dba0d76 img[data-gs-aos]{opacity:1;transform:translateZ(0)}#gspb_image-id-gsbp-cb47d03 img,#gspb_image-id-gsbp-dba0d76 img{vertical-align:top;display:inline-block;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:100%;height:auto;transition-duration:.8s;transition-timing-function:var(--gs-root-animation-easing, cubic-bezier(0.42, 0, 0.58, 1));opacity:var(--gs-root-animation-opacity, 0);transition-property:opacity,transform,filter;transform:var(--gs-root-animation-transform, translate3d(calc(max(50px, 15%) * -1), 0, 0))}","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8040","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Webmaster","author_link":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/author\/nott\/"},"comment_info":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8040"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8708,"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8040\/revisions\/8708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ga.com.my\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
