Mohd Aros , Director of AQ Aros & Co., was recently granted a rare opportunity to meet with Malaysia’s fourth and longest-serving Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.
The meeting served as an invaluable platform for Mr. Aros to present an exciting new business venture, Goolee, and seek the Tun’s advice on effective market introduction and strategy.
Honouring a Legacy of Leadership
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, recognized as one of Malaysia’s greatest statesmen, has a distinguished career that saw him lead the nation through periods of immense growth and transformation. It was a true honour to receive counsel from a figure whose strategic vision shaped the nation's trajectory.

The Strategic Role of AQ Aros & Co.
Tuan AQ’s involvement with Goolee is centered on securing its future and strategic market positioning. His key responsibilities include:
Developing Business Strategy: Crafting a robust plan to ensure Goolee achieves successful market penetration and long-term viability.
Fundraising and Financing: Leading efforts to secure necessary capital, primarily through strategic investment pitching and exploring various forms of financing.
The advice received from Tun Dr. Mahathir will be crucial in refining these strategies, particularly in scaling a mission-driven technology that has profound societal benefits.
Inclusivity in Innovation: Introducing B-Goolee
Further highlighting the product’s commitment to social good, Tuan AQ also introduced B-Goolee, a specialized line developed specifically for visually impaired individuals. This dedication to inclusivity ensures that the benefits of mental activation and strategic thinking are accessible to all members of the community.
