About TEDxPetalingStreet

TEDxPetalingStreet is the first Chinese spoken event in Malaysia; it was first established in 2013. This platform was organised by a group of volunteers who have affection towards their homeland - Malaysia. With the core value of creating an inspiring,influencing,creative and idea sharing platform,we gathered innovators,leaders,reformists,and idealists in Malaysia to share their visions to change for a better world. These visions are shared by those who believed that the art of storytelling is further refined if conveyed in native mother tongue. We encourage the speakers to share their ideas and concepts to narrate the positivity,passion and creative ideas that transformed the speaker's life,in order for their story to spread and touch the world. We believe,TEDxPetalingStreet could gather participants from various backgrounds and expertise to encourage and brainstorm together for better ideas and great thoughts for sharing and shaping the world.
