Noor Shahiwan graduated in biology, but somehow it bugged him why there were still areas in Malaysia without electricity. He decided to embark on bringing solar to far flung places. Without realising it, he had setup a social entreprise. For each commercial project, they would fully subsidise solar power to needy homes within the visinity. Now they've gone as far as remote islands in Indonesia to deep into Myanmar. Can they achieve bringing light to 5000 people by 2022 ?
