Kembara Insan: A Journey That Began in Silence

Attending Diploma in Palm Oil Milling Technology by MPOB in 2007 is an eye opener to overall palm oil industry. 

In 2009, I started writing on Blogspot.

At that time, I was working deep in the jungle—far from towns, far from comfort, and far from the internet. For almost six years, I lived and worked in isolation, with no real connection to the outside world. The plantation was my world, the mill my classroom, and experience my greatest teacher.

Everything changed when I finally gained internet access in Miri.

For the first time in years, I could connect with the world again. And I realised something important—there were countless untold stories from the palm oil industry. Stories about hardship, resilience, engineering challenges, leadership, and human struggle. Stories that deserved to be shared.

That was how Kembara Insan Blog was born—16 years ago.

Many people asked me, “Why do you write?”
My answer is simple: today, it is becoming increasingly rare to find engineers who write. Engineers who document their journey, share their lessons, and reflect on life beyond drawings, machines, and KPIs.

I write because I want to change that.

Writing is not just about words; it is about leaving a trail for the next generation. If my experiences can inspire, guide, or even comfort someone walking a similar path—then every word is worth it.

This is my journey.
This is Kembara Insan.
