The Bukit Kiara Valley Park where the privately-owned Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort (BKECR) is located is one of the largest green lungs in Kuala Lumpur. The BKECR boasts of its equestrian and polo facilities suited for international showjumping and dressage competitions, apart from the clubhouse dining and recreational convenience. It has a 12-lane bowling alley, a two-tiered 32-bay driving range and a putting green, a tennis court, a basketball badminton courts and swimming pools, but there is also the Bukit Kiara Sports Complex nearby. It is surrounded by verdant greens with a reverse ‘S' river meandering across it. Its precincts are out of bounds to non-members like the adjacent Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club. But there are lots of hiking, jogging and walking tracks free for the general public, not only for the residents of the affluent Taman Tun Dr Ismail neighbourhood. It's also popular with mountain-bikers.

He taught at the Malaysian Institute of Art from 1981-1994, after receiving his Diploma of Fine Art there in 1979 (awarded Best Student in 1978). He has several solos since his first at Art House Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, in 1981, including in Art Expo Malaysia. Most notable is his solo at Galeri Seni Maybank, Kuala Lumpur in 1997. His recent solo was held at National Art Gallery Malaysia and Wisma Kebudayaan Soka Gakkai Malaysia.
