I am Cecil Cheong, Orphanage Ambassador from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a father of two young children and a devoted husband, I cherish every moment I can spend with my family when not on the road. With over two decades of experience as an ICT professional in the telecommunications industry, my career has led me through regional leadership roles with major mobile network operators and global companies. My expertise spans cloud transformation, cybersecurity, and technical sales, where I have embraced innovation while balancing the human element of technology as a business enabler. These experiences have not only shaped my professional growth but also deepened my appreciation for connection, imagination, and impact.

In my role as an Orphanage Ambassador, I proudly support the Mary K Yap Foundation’s mission, especially its heartfelt campaigns that bring orphaned children to the cinema for the first time (#FirstMovieExperience)—offering them a magical experience of seeing stories unfold on the big screen. For many of these children, it is more than just entertainment—it is a window into possibility, creativity, and the power of dreams. I believe every child deserves a chance to feel joy, wonder, and inspiration. My background in storytelling through technology motivates me to support efforts that ignite imagination and encourage children to express themselves and explore the world around them. Supporting disadvantaged children through such enriching experiences bridges both my technical journey and my personal desire to uplift the next generation with humility and hope.
