Chin Chow Jack is only 24, but he has a deep-rooted passion for cabinet-making – a skill he has learnt since childhood.

It may seem odd for a child to be interested in carpentry, but Chin grew up in his father’s cabinet factory in Pandan Mewah, Ampang in Selangor, where he used to help out (as much as he could) from the time he was in primary school.
