SPEAKER SPEAKER
Wong Chow YangPartner, Tax, EY Malaysia
Wong Chow Yang is a partner in EY Malaysia’s tax practice and a member of the Tax Advisory group in Kuala Lumpur. He is a graduate of the University of Auckland, New Zealand and holds a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, majoring in Accounting and Finance. He is also a Chartered Accountant with both the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ) and the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA).
Chow Yang began his career in 1991 with a leading tax practice of an international accounting firm. In his 10 years with the firm, he managed a diversified portfolio of tax compliance and advisory projects for both multinationals and Malaysian companies in a wide range of industries. His tax consulting experience extends to cross border investments, mergers, acquisitions, privatisations, group restructurings and transfer pricing matters.
Chow Yang left the tax consulting practice for a number of years to work within both the technology services and retail & distribution industries. He later returned to tax consulting at a global boutique tax consulting firm, wherein he was involved extensively in GST implementation and consulting projects for a broad spectrum of industries including financial services, manufacturing, retail & distribution, property development, infrastructure, healthcare services and hospitality/hotels.
Chow Yang joined the EY tax practice in 2015 adding a wealth of diverse tax knowledge and experience to help clients navigate through complex corporate tax issues to address tax risks and to identify opportunities for tax efficiencies.
He is also a regular speaker at seminars and workshops and has authored several articles for journals and publications including “The Malaysian Accountant” and “Smart Investor”.
Sam Shafie is a co-founder of pitchIN, the premier Malaysian crowd funding platform that he co-founded in June 2012.
To date, pitchIN has seen the largest amount crowd funded in South East Asia in its platform as well as recording the highest number of people supporting a single project. With the Government focusing its attention to allowing equity crowd funding in Malaysia, pitchIN is one of the six approved platforms in 2015.
Equity crowdfunding is a mechanism or electronic platform that enables broad groups of investors to fund startup companies and small businesses in return for equity. Investors give money to a business and receive ownership of a small piece of that business. If the business succeeds, then its value goes up, as well as the value of a share in that business—the converse is also true.
Coverage of equity crowdfunding indicates that its potential is greatest with startup businesses that are seeking smaller invest-ments to achieve establishment, while follow-on funding (required for subsequent growth) may come from other sources.
Sam also founded WatchTower and Friends (WTF) Sdn Bhd, an accel-erator of tech startups. The WTF Accelerator opened its 1st batch of startups in January 2015 with 8 startups. The WTF Accelerator hosted the first ever ASEAN Startup Campus Accelerator in conjunc-tion with the 1ASEAN Entrepreneurial Summit in August 2015. Sam is also currently a committee member of the Malaysian Business Angel (MBAN).
