Selling REITs, Buying Tech, He FIRED! The story of a Malaysian in Singapore [Chills 239 ft Boon Tee]

What if your journey to financial freedom started in a small Malaysian town and ended in one of the world’s priciest cities?

• How he went from earning in ringgit to investing in USD.
• The mindset shifts that helped him build conviction — and stay invested when others panicked.
• What “FIRE” really means when you’ve got a family, a mortgage, and a plan.

No hype, no gimmicks — just one man’s real journey to financial independence, powered by discipline, data, and a little bit of tech magic. Tune in. Get inspired. Rethink what’s possible.
