To our valued partners, friends, and community,

My journey is one of resilience, forged through both challenge and grace. Over nine years ago, I arrived in Ethiopia not at a peak of success, but during a chapter of personal and professional setbacks. I was seeking a new beginning, and this beautiful nation—with its profound history and resilient spirit—opened its arms to me.

Living here has been my greatest teacher. The challenges in business and health I faced did not define me; instead, they refined my purpose. Ethiopia has given me more than a home—it has given me a mission. It is now my sincere honor to serve, building bridges through Ethio Malaya Trading PLC and investing in future generations with the upcoming Airyn Nellysya Secondary School PLC, opening September 2026.

My story—the full journey of failures, lessons, and the faith that carried me through—is one I share openly. To understand the heart behind these ventures, I invite you to read more on my personal blog. There, I connect the dots between my experiences and the vision that drives us forward.

I believe true partnership is built on transparency and shared belief. I am ready to serve our stakeholders in Malaysia with dedication and to honor my deep bond with Ethiopia as my second home.

Thank you for your trust. Let us build a meaningful future, together.

With sincerity and commitment,

Norashikin Mohd Ali
