AVID cyclist Peter Yoong wants to cycle solo around the world – a journey charting 30,000km – in two years. The 56-year-old is self-funding his ride on a budget of RM40,000.

In his cycling tour, he also wants to raise RM80,000 for the World Vision Malaysia Education Fund for local underprivileged children. He hopes the money raised can be used for the purchase of books or to build new schools in remote areas.
