Quiet Mastery by Adjunct Professor Jessie Jong Chung Jin, A.S.D.K

In Malaysia’s rental landscape, where opinions can be loud and assumptions are often made quickly, Adjunct Professor Jessie Jong, ASDK has always taken a different approach. Her investment journey has never been driven by noise or trends but by careful observation and steady discipline. She realised at a young age that building stable passive income would eventually allow her to focus on the initiatives that aligned with her deeper purpose. That early insight became the foundation of how she approached property investment from the very beginning. Her understanding of Malaysia’s rental market grew from years of hands-on involvement, studying tenant behaviour, adapting to shifting conditions, and making the thoughtful decisions that protect long-term value.

This quiet mastery now forms the basis of her latest academic achievement: a published study on rental property management best practices for private investors in Malaysia. Appearing in the Malaysian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities, the work originated from her 2023 Master’s dissertation but carries the maturity of someone who has spent years engaging directly with the realities of the market.

Her research offers more than theoretical observations. It reflects the genuine texture of rental management today, including how tenant expectations have changed, how digital habits are influencing renting behaviour, and why preventive care has become a defining part of responsible investment. These themes come from lived experience rather than distant analysis.

The study highlights a market that is gradually maturing. Renting a home is no longer a simple exchange. Tenants have become more discerning, market cycles influence decisions more sharply, and the emotional weight attached to a living space is stronger than many investors acknowledge. Those who treat rental management as a consistent and thoughtful practice, rather than a passive form of income, are the ones who remain steady over time.

Jessie’s writing reflects the same calm and grounded perspective she brings to her work. She avoids exaggeration and keeps her analysis clear and practical. Instead of offering dramatic conclusions, she provides a Malaysian viewpoint shaped by genuine experience. Her work recognises the responsibilities of both landlords and tenants and shows how clarity, communication, and consistency form the foundation of a healthy rental relationship.

Her publication arrives at an important moment. Conversations about strengthening Malaysia’s rental governance have become more common, and the sector is slowly recognising the need for clearer expectations and more professional practices. In this context, research informed by real experience holds particular value.

What makes this contribution distinctive is the intention behind it. Jessie did not publish for recognition. She published because the patterns she encountered over the years deserved to be organised and shared. Many private landlords face similar challenges without a structured point of reference, and her study offers exactly that. It is a way of transforming personal experience into knowledge that benefits others.

By bringing her investment background into the academic space, Jessie creates a bridge that many speak about but few truly build. The result is a piece of work that feels composed, sincere, and quietly authoritative. It is grounded in real situations yet presented with a clarity that invites understanding.

Her perspective carries a quiet confidence shaped by experience and expressed with deliberate clarity.

Building Borneo’s Trusted F&B Brand with Passion and Purpose

Molly Moo Li: Building Borneo’s Trusted F&B Brand with Passion and Purpose

Two-Time Winner | SME Brand Excellence Award | Platinum Business Awards 2025

At the Platinum Business Awards 2025, Ms. Molly Moo Li, Founder and Managing Director of Borneo More Sdn Bhd, once again made Sabah proud as a two-time achiever, receiving the SME Brand Excellence Award for her company’s remarkable contribution to Malaysia’s food and beverage sector.

“What an incredible journey! I’m truly humbled and thankful to receive the SME Brand Excellence Award at the SME Platinum Business Awards 2025.

A big thank you to my team Borneo More, as well as all our business associates, partners, and customers — your trust and collaboration make every success possible.”

This second national-level recognition marks another milestone in Borneo More’s evolution — from a regional F&B supplier to a trusted industry leader known across Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.

Dreams into Delicious Realities

Over 20 years ago, Borneo More began as a small operation supplying essential F&B ingredients. What started modestly has now grown into a wholesale powerhouse with a strong presence across Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.

In 2014, the company boldly diversified beyond ingredients — expanding into food-processing machinery, spare parts, and premium product lines. This forward-thinking move positioned Borneo More as a trailblazer and one-stop solution provider for café owners, beverage entrepreneurs, and food manufacturers alike.

What sets Borneo More apart is its brand promise of reliability and partnership. Beyond products, the company provides:

• Tailored sourcing of unique ingredients

• Product development and customization to suit market trends

• Training and workshops for staff and entrepreneurs

• Product sampling and testing before bulk purchases

• Menu planning and cost-optimization consultation

Every service is designed to help clients see Borneo More not as a vendor but as a partner in growth, supported by efficient delivery and steadfast after-sales service.

To date, over a thousand local F&B entrepreneurs — from bubble tea operators to modern cafés — have benefited from Borneo More’s expertise and mentorship, reinforcing its standing as one of East Malaysia’s most trusted F&B solution providers.

Empowering SMEs Through the Borneo Flavor Expo International 2025

In 2025, Borneo More took its industry leadership a step further by co-organizing the Borneo Flavor Expo International 2025 at SICC Sabah from 7–9 November.

The event featured:

✅ F&B vendor showcases and exhibitions

✅ Industry forums and live demonstrations

✅ Creative competitions such as the Parent-Kid Cake Decoration Contest, Teh Tarik Challenge, and Tuaran Mee Competition

The Expo not only celebrated culinary talent but also strengthened Sabah’s position as a fast-rising hub for F&B innovation in Malaysia and the region.

Training and Talent Development

At its Kota Kinabalu headquarters, Borneo More runs hands-on training programs that equip aspiring entrepreneurs with essential F&B skills — from beverage crafting and machinery operation to menu creation and cost control.

These initiatives reflect Molly Moo Li’s belief that empowering others is the foundation of sustainable growth. Her approach combines business acumen with mentorship — ensuring that Borneo More’s legacy extends far beyond commerce into community impact.

A Brand That Builds Legacies

Today, Borneo More stands tall as more than a supplier — it is a catalyst that fuels ambition, nurtures businesses, and creates culinary excellence.

For Molly Moo Li, success isn’t measured by profit alone, but by the lives uplifted and opportunities created through consistent innovation and integrity.

Tuaran Mee Cooking Competition – Borneo Flavours - SME Expo Sabah 2025

Tuaran Mee Cooking Competition – SME Expo Sabah 2025

The aroma of sizzling woks and the cheerful buzz of the crowd filled the air at the Tuaran Mee Cooking Competition 🍜, held during the Borneo Flavours Event at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) on Sunday, 9 November 2025. This exciting segment was one of the main highlights of the SME Expo Sabah 2025, celebrating Sabah’s rich culinary traditions and creative local talents.

The competition brought together passionate cooks, aspiring chefs, and culinary enthusiasts from all corners of Sabah, each eager to showcase their version of the beloved Tuaran Mee—a dish deeply rooted in the state’s gastronomic identity. From the perfect wok hei aroma to the balance of texture and flavor, every plate told a story of skill, pride, and local heritage.

Adding extra flavor to the competition, Twinine Sdn. Bhd. came on board as an official sponsor, generously providing a complete sauce set and cooking utensils used by all participants. Their signature sauces and condiments added a unique dimension to the dishes, enhancing the authentic Sabahan taste that the judges and audience alike couldn’t get enough of.

As steam rose and the sizzling sound of noodles echoed through the hall, spectators gathered eagerly to watch the participants’ culinary creativity in action. The atmosphere was electrifying—filled with excitement, anticipation, and the irresistible aroma of freshly stir-fried noodles.

The Tuaran Mee Cooking Competition was not only a test of culinary skills but also a celebration of community, culture, and the spirit of Sabahan innovation. It highlighted how local SMEs, sponsors, and event organizers can come together to promote Sabah as a culinary destination in the region.

With so much energy, passion, and local pride displayed, this event undoubtedly left everyone craving more — both for the delicious Tuaran Mee and for the next round of Sabah’s vibrant food showcases!

Building Sabah’s Smart Aging Nation — From Policy Gaps to Sustainable Systems by Adj. Prof. Jessie Jong (A.S.D.K)

 Adj. Prof. Jessie Jong (A.S.D.K)

When most entrepreneurs chase their own brand, Adj. Prof. Jessie Jong links business, research, and community toward shared growth.

 A seasoned property investor, entrepreneur, and now policy researcher, she has spent her career connecting business acumen with social purpose — drawing on practical experience to explore sustainable paths for Sabah’s future.

“My philosophy is simple,” she says with calm authority.

 “True leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about guiding people to do the right things.”

From Enterprise to Public Purpose

Jessie’s professional foundation began in business and property investment, where she learned how economic cycles, regulations, and community trust influence long-term value.
 As an entrepreneur, she built her reputation on strategic insight and relationship capital — identifying opportunities, mitigating risk, and creating value through sound judgment rather than speculation.

Those experiences gave her a front-row view of how deeply business growth depends on social stability and good governance.
 Over time, that perspective expanded her focus from private enterprise to the systems that sustain public progress — leading her to explore how research and policy could close the gap between opportunity and equity.

Building on her earlier research on sustainable agrotourism, Jessie has now expanded her focus to Smart Aging — exploring how policy, governance, and community systems can adapt to Sabah’s changing social landscape. She channels that insight into her research on Smart Aging strategies and governance models for Sabah. Her studies seek to identify the gaps between policy formulation and real-world implementation — particularly how local communities can prepare for an aging population with limited institutional support.

“Sabah has talent and compassion,” she notes.
 “What we need now is structure — systems that give our communities credibility, sustainability, and continuity.”

Bridging Research and Policy

Jessie’s research identifies three key enablers for building a sustainable Smart Aging ecosystem in Sabah:

1. Policy Integration — Align aging-related initiatives across multiple sectors so health, housing, and social support systems reinforce one another.
   
2. Workforce Readiness — Expand community college and TVET curricula to include caregiving, gerontology, and wellness management — building a skilled local workforce for the care economy.
3. Data and Governance Reform — Strengthen information systems to ensure policy decisions reflect real community needs and outcomes.
   
   

These recommendations form the basis of her upcoming policy paper, “Building Sabah’s Smart Aging Nation — From Policy Gaps to Sustainable Systems.”
 Her work reframes aging not as a social burden, but as a developmental opportunity — a chance to create jobs, nurture innovation, and promote inclusive growth.

“Policy must evolve with people,” Jessie explains.
 “When research connects directly with implementation, systems become stronger and more humane.”

Integrity and Collaboration Above All

From her early business ventures to her current research leadership, Jessie’s compass has always pointed toward impact and purpose.
 She believes credibility is built through consistency and quiet discipline, not noise.
 Her leadership style values clarity, respect, and collaboration — the same principles that guided her success in business now underpin her academic and civic engagements.

“Disagreements are natural,” she says.
“What matters is holding firm to your purpose — people notice consistency when times get uncertain.”

Her ability to move seamlessly between enterprise, education, and policy spaces has made her a trusted bridge — someone who can translate business realities into socially meaningful strategies.

Shaping Sabah’s Next Chapter

Looking ahead to 2026, Jessie envisions Sabah taking meaningful steps toward becoming a model for Smart Aging — where care, education, and innovation begin to converge in support of dignified, sustainable aging.

Through the Smart Aging and Wellness Framework, Jessie looks into how practical elements — housing, health technology, skills development, and community life — can work together to create a more supportive environment for aging.

Her participation in early discussions for a statewide initiative on aging and related innovation reflects the same mission — to bridge research with real-world application. As part of a collaborative think-tank, she contributes perspectives that align with Sabah’s emerging Smart Aging and sustainability agenda.

The Quiet Force Behind Collective Success

Those who have worked with Jessie describe her as strategic yet grounded, visionary yet practical.

Recognized for her active public presence, Jessie continues to play an active role in collaborations and community initiatives that support Sabah’s Smart Aging movement.

As Sabah moves toward policy-driven reform, Adj. Prof. Jessie Jong embodies a collaborative approach — one that connects people, policy, and practice to build systems that endure.
