Penang-based entrepreneur take on the challenge of running a group buying site

TWO years ago, Clarence Long left his job in England to return to his birthplace — Penang. As the story goes, he was sick of the usual nine-to-five life in the British capital and was also a little homesick.

He was determined not to return to a conventional job — Long wanted out from the rat race. He had only one option — to start his own business. Even though, he wasn’t a business graduate, he made a decision to venture into the online group buying industry.
