Wow this guy is probably the most interesting guest ever on the show. He has a very engaging way of recounting his stories and has a very towkay vibe.

[@yeannetung]

agree

[@HumanTherapy]

When the father looked outside and saw a piece of cloud, instead of naming his son 'Cloud'(云), he name his son 'A Piece'(一朵). The joke is a double entendre; his father almost named his son Ma Yun(Cloud), which is the name of current Chairman of Alibaba, implying he would have had a good fortune if he was named after him. While also simultaneously implied the father is an uneducated ah beng, hence he chose 'A Piece' instead of 'Cloud'. It's basically a shock humor dad joke. The closest English joke would be this: A woman was 3 months pregnant when she fell into a deep coma and woke up after about 6 months. The woman asked the doctor about her baby. Doctor: You had twins, a boy and a girl. They're both fine. And, you're brother named them for you. Woman: No No No! Not my brother. He's an idiot! What did he name the girl? Doctor: Denise. Woman: Ohh, that's actually a nice name. What about the boy? Doctor: Denephew.

[@grys9245]

That’s hilarious bro 😂

[@bloodtalon27]

wow. Randomly just clicked this video out of boredom, but this guy Mayiduo is really an inspiration. Hardworking, studious, compassionate, funny, intelligent. Really good man, this guy deserves the success he has.

[@bc2238]

i loveeeee how john came to "defend" mayiduo with a deprecating joke on myd expense when he was "stereotyping" to "save" him and myd went CORRECT. Masterful... masterful. classy. legend. i love myd.

[@cookiemonst3rr]

think this comes with life experience and high EQ. i have noticed this about john on quite a few occasions in the podcasts.

[@Repulseer]

I agree with him. There is a work ethic culture here in Malaysia that is very damaging to start ups. But him saying he stayed back for 12 hours to push production alone is heartfelt. I remember back in the days where I was the only one staying back with my ex-boss staying till 3-5am just to push a little more to ready for a client visit. I would have stayed back to work with u. Your theory is right btw.

[@weiqianggeraldchoo7157]

Amazing to have Mayiduo coming on the show and sharing his experience. He is very open with his mistakes, his flaws and even his experience to many. I sure want to meet him and to learn from him on how he can be so daring to venture out to start a business. I have to agree with him when he said that a child can really change your life and I do agree with him as I am a father as well. But still I am not daring enough like him to venture out to do business with a family, but I guess I have many to learn from him! Hope to meet him some day and learn from him!

[@HoneyMoneySG]

Watched many of Mayiduo's interviews, he always seem like a funny guy to hangout with together with his sharp business sense 🤙

[@LeakyBucketsg]

🎉agree

[@hellothere-sb5iy]

Ya, DO NOT start business with your gf/bf/husband/wife!!!! To outsiders, my hb and I are very 没有脾气 type of person. Few years into our business, our quarrels only escalates. The polices even came for our last fight. Nothing bad happened but the stress really drive us crazy. And I think Mayiduo wife drop the win to tell you she really appreciate what you have done. Somedays I do that. Because with the business, I will subconscious complain about the bad (so that we can improve). And slowly he will feel that everything he did is not good enough for me even though he is trying his best. I will drop some wins or praise to remind him that I really appreciate everything he did. And why I can't do it too often, because he get confident too easily and start thinking of the next business to do. :D

[@PaperPlay_]

mad props to u MYD. my kid is 3 as well, born in the covid lockdown period and your willingness to put away your phone till he sleeps at night is truly amazing. May y’all have lots of wonderful memories together and stay healthy!

[@alui5362]

hahah mayiduo and simonboy are good guys lah, don't need scared. they are ah beng but mature one.

[@justlangston6936]

The first podcast that i could finish watching the whole thing. Very interesting person. Never heard of him till now. Learned alot from him in this podcast. Well done Kelvin. Hope i get to act in the movie you directing. Cheers from Malaysia 🤙🏻

[@mandy_145]

I’m a 76 year old auntie …. also scared of Ah Bengs but I admire this one😁. Enjoyed this podcast. Very entertaining ! Great group . This guest ( I’ve never seen before) is intelligent … surprisingly speaks good English , kind/fair , etc👍

[@yip2454]

no need scare of ah beng, ah beng wont cause problems with ordinary people. maybe except for the sec school YPs

[@Crispyfries949]

Very inspirational guy. I think our youth needs more of such entrepreneurial talk. The path to success is definitely not easy.

[@TheZeeminty]

wa for the first time i watched 50mins podcast on youtube, it was very engaging and inspiring. respect mayiduo!

[@GabZChris]

It's my first time getting to know of Mayiduo and I'm very inspired by his stories and his honesty in his sharing. I can see his passion for life and in trying new things, and as an educator, I hope to be able to use his journey to spark that same determination in my students. Kudos to him and also The Daily Ketchup team for always bringing in fresh ideas, perspectives and laughs. Very glad I got to know of the channel/podcast through my brother, and have been a consistent follower ever since! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@brok3]

always great to see mayiduo talk

[@johnwong4424]

This show is great. With passion, one can make it in life. Dont need minister to tell us degree is not important, the guy is the living example. Kudos to him 👍

[@arjunsasangan9342]

[@aly5130]

also made $1M in 7 years, got condo, stock and CPF topped up. Way to go!

[@burpdigest]

i second in the fact that we should NEVER work with your partner. Very high chance of a broken relationship.

[@cherylng9395]

Seriously one of the best episodes so far

[@Godkinlaxus]

First time watching a TDK podcast and I loved this episode. Very relatable as a singaporean. 😂

[@jbl.fishing]

[@calvinlee9252]

[@lendleasereit6797]

halfway through this and it struck me he is dam eloquent / speaks dam well

[@proswampert]

Good podcast !! Appreciate the insight 🙏🏼

[@andytanwh]

good stuff! listen to MYD talk about his then fiancée remove the ring, I got a little emotional, can't say can relate but definitely feel it! yeah back then no male sellers online I was the only handful that was selling used clothings on blogspot iirc, did alot of reselling, side hustle, but nothing of MYD's scale, again great content! Jonathan probably thinking wah Bro (MYD) you damn loud, hahaha. Random but Daniel and Jared looked like Brothers to me.

[@RaptureOnCloudNo.9]

Is that a Rolex Submariner on Mayiduo himself? Pretty understated and humble for a person of his stature. 👍

[@RayMak]

He’s a very amazing Ah beng

[@jkjy6471]

mayiduo, respect!

[@LAWRENCECHEE]

ACCA: The ACCA qualification typically takes around three to four years to complete, depending on individual progress. It involves a series of exams and practical experience requirements.

[@jamesyong1088]

Very real guy

[@kiatsan5781]

You are a real Beng. It's just that your friends are more beng.

[@MeoweeeeCat]

You have a new fan now 马一朵 LOVE YOU❤

[@johnsonjaylorng8297]

[@beyondlimits2717]

“Ah Bengs to Men”, that would your legacy to take after Jack Neo.

[@cherylxinnyi]

Mayiduo's business mind is really interesting. all the different business ideas but all thought through properly

[@rayt2324]

Solid.

[@ambertan9141]

Dream big and find ways to achieve it.

[@Wagmi0]

[@user-ss3tj8mb2b]

Interesting episode 🤣

[@user-xh2kw5eh1u]

I admire him a lot! Smart guy

[@victorvictor4235]

He’s seemed to be a good boss, employing good management skills

[@sklim22]

What Mayiduo mentioned about JB A Kan or Beh Kan one is true

[@bryanyeo4824]

as a jb kia, SHIT HHAHA THE JB THEORY SO TRUE DAMN

[@MrSpringaura]

Entertaining stuff! Would you guys consider inviting dr yip choi pheng on the show? She was featured in the CNA programme “the secret life of trees”. Would be great if can invite her to share her stories as a plant pathologist.

[@westdoor123]

He is a smart guy .

[@spdjmc]

Haha, so refreshing to see an old school mate on the podcast. We didn't talk much in PHS but back then you could tell he was a nice guy amongst a lot of b***h arse people at the time. The way you talk really does not matter if you have a genuine heart, as you can tell.

[@jimw8615]

PHS?

[@xOvaltine]

@@jimw8615 Presbyterian High School
