This includes Imran Aqil from Malaysia, Margielyn Didal from the Philippines, Jacob Julian Lau from Singapore, Sarnt Sunbeary from Thailand and Truong Mỹ Anh from Vietnam.

Through the #TeamUnstoppable campaign, we hope to create a movement and showcase how our youths are leveraging on innovative technologies and products to drive everyday, positive change across the region,” added Bockcenmeyer.

  • Jacob Julian Lau (@jacobjlau) from Singapore, who overcame introversion and self-doubt after choosing dance as his career.
