IT HAS been a month since Nescafe Kick-Start Reality TV’s four finalists were announced. Since then, these ambitious guys – Aidan Aquinas Chew Ker-Shih, 21; Josaiah Chong Wun Tzen, 21; William Hoo Hoi Mun, 23; and Hairie Zairel Oh, 21 – have been pre-occupied with “kick-starting” their dream jobs. 

The show, part of Nescafe’s community programme for Malaysian youths, is billed as “the TV show where dreams become reality”. Since it was aired last December, viewers saw 16 semi-finalists vying for RM30,000 in cash and sponsored prizes to launch the next phase of their dream job.
