Meet Andrew Chen, the rock star photographer from Ipoh

Sometimes, not knowing what comes next can be confusing and stressful. And for school leavers and college/university graduates, it is even more daunting.

This was what Andrew Chen experienced in his teenage years. Chen runs an adventure club in his hometown of Ipoh, Perak called Ipoh Adventures, organising weekly activities with people in the community, for free. He is 75 now, but still remembers that feeling of uncertainty and not knowing exactly which path to take after finishing school. In an interview, Chen talked about his past like it had just happened.
