Wan Emir Astar, Co-Founder of ReMeal, joined a panel session at the Youth Empowerment Fair 2025. In the session - Building Careers in AI - Wan Emir, alongside fellow entrepreneurs, shared insights from the industry to Malaysia's future leaders.
The other speakers in the panel consisted of Kenneth Cheah, CEO of Nexor AI; Una Wang, Founder and CEO of Lingo AI; and Haikal Hatta, President of Global Future Leaders.
In the session, Wan Emir shared a few key takeaways:
You don’t need to be a programmer to thrive in AI, bring your creativity, empathy, and problem-solving.
AI is transforming industries, but it’s adaptability and soft skills that will future-proof your career.
Start small, stay curious, even the simplest project (powered by AI) can open doors.
The future won’t just be about “working in AI” — it will be about working with AI across every field.
It was great to see such passionate youth, whose future career path will be heavily impacted due to the rapid advancements of AI.
We give special thanks to ministers Tengku Zafrul Aziz and Fahmi Fadzil for supporting us at the event.
