Prior to Community Business, Chris served as the client service officer at a private mental health clinic at Kuala Lumpur which inspired him to focus on the mental health of LGBT+ during the COVID-19 pandemic in his undergraduate thesis which explored how increasing social support and mental resilience of sexual minorities promotes better mental health and reduces depression. He presented his findings at the 5th China International Conference on Positive Psychology organised by Tsing Hua University. His master’s research focused on the “Roof” Project in Malaysia to create a centre for Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DE&I).

He also leads support groups, engages in interfaith dialogue and facilitates workshops and training. He provides guidance around the topic of reconciling faith with sexuality and strives to tackle inequality and promote diversity and inclusion among spiritual communities, as well as encourage spiritual and mental wellbeing in the community.
