¡°I believe that the main motivator is my constant quest for knowledge. Every article written and published represents a new contribution of knowledge to the literature, and I feel satisfied in witnessing that,¡± said Prof Ooi.

¡°These recognitions show that the Faculty of Business and Information Science (FOBIS) is cultivating a conducive research culture across the faculty, in addition to teaching.

His advice to fellow researchers and students in the field:

¡°We are all in a learning process every single day of our lives, so don¡¯t stop or refuse to learn. By practising a continuous learning process, you can go as far as you want,¡± said Prof Ooi.

¡°Lastly, I would like to dedicate my success to my co-authors and family members,¡± added Prof Ooi.
