biography

A medical professional turned social leader, Dr. The Su Thye is highly passionate in changing the world and continues to seek for a purposeful life. At the age of 18, he pondered on the meaning of life and started questioning “why” of what everyone does – studying, getting a job, getting married and so on. 

At 26, he decided to move out of his medical career to volunteer in social organisations. At 29, he led a group of youth activist to the conflict hotspot at Israel-Palestine to be part of Middle East Peace Initiative in Jerusalem which reaffirmed his dedication towards peace-building. He continues to pursue this journey, making world peace into a reality by tapping on the strength of humanity for the common good. 

Dr. Teh today is a leadership coach and intercultural expert with 15 years of experience working with people across Asia, Africa and US in the social sector. He continues to advocate and lead efforts pertaining to education, volunteering, ethical leadership as well as intercultural and interfaith collaborations.
