Syamsul aka masterof_none was an ordinary computer science student at University of Southern California when he met Yusuf and started ReCom.org (later, joined by Chen Chow, Luke, Thirdshifter, and the rest of the Anchors). Syamsul's prime interest is in leveraging Internet as a platform to discuss ideas, sharing information and meet new people.When he has nothing to do on the weekend, (apart from computer-related stuff), he enjoys watching movies, listening to songs and gardening. Occasionally, he'll sit on the beach and relax. Throughout the years of running ReCom.org, Syamsul loves ReCom.org community. It is the community that keeps ReCom.org alive until now.
bachok83
Co-founder, Administrator
Mohd Yusuf aka bachok83 co-founded ReCom.org when he was a freshman studying Electrical Engineering at University of Southern California. He managed ReCom.org's server for a number of years after which he decided that webhosting would be a better solution to serve the community.
He is now a software engineer at Altera Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd and helping out (to maintain/develop) wemotor.com and msdla.com during his free time. He sometimes finds it hard to mix with people for his sheer 'geekiness' mentality, where he finds bridges' resonance frequency is a more interesting topic than (erk, uh.. what do normal people talk about?).
His favorite TV channels are Discovery Channel, National Geographic and Animal Planet. He also finds Mythbusters as one of the most interesting TV shows. Despite that, he also loves sitcoms such as Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, Home Improvements, etc. His favorite movie genres are comedy, family, romantic comedy, actions and adventures.

He is so interested in Japanese culture that he can converse, read and write in Japanese, and he even went backpacking in Japan for two weeks in mid 2006 alone to test his grasp on Japanese language and to experience the oriental culture first-hand.
He came across ReCom during his freshman year through friends at Cornell University like ChenChow, Cheryl (Silverblue) and Kevin (littlebigone). It was not until late 2003 that he decided to register at ReCom under username ?luke?. He helped out to introduced a few modules to the website architecture and before long he was promoted to an administrator in ReCom.

youngyew
Wiki-Technician, Administrator
Youngyew aka Chang Yang hails from Alor Star, Malaysia but he currently spends most of the time in Melbourne. Despite doing a numberless course, he still likes Maths and Physics, and he ought to do something about his Internet addiction. Everything cool or funny he says here is his futile attempt to gloss over his real-life image of a medical student, a profession well known with its high populace of nerds, kiasuists, and exam score statisticians. He *tries* not to be one of those people. In fact he is trying it right here. He rambles regularly at his blog

vseehua
Wiki-Technician, SuperModerator
Vseehua aka Casper is a boy who always mistaken for girls. Probably it?s because of his name provides an image of a girl at the first glance. Anyway, he is a technical type of person who likes to fix (and break) stuffs especially if it concerns modern gadgets such as the more advanced cell phone models as well as computers. He spends a lot of time on the internet surfing for random (mostly technical and philosophical) stuffs to read and learn from.
Currently, he is in the midst of learning more about php programming and server administration in order to set up a website that he and his girlfriend wanted to jointly set up. He also plays games a lot during his free time, mostly World of Warcraft because of the very friendly community of friends that he has there and the fun factor as well. If he is not doing any of the things listed above he will be chatting with his friends in MSN or thinking how to get past the writers? block for his own blog. He hopes that ReCom can continue to serve as a platform for Malaysian students to further develop their skills in creatively and critically thinking for themselves as well as for the others. This is a skill that he thinks is sorely lacking amongst Malaysian school graduates of the recent times. Should you guys have any enquiries or just want to have a chat please don?t hesitate to drop a line at vseehua_at_hotmail_dot_com or add him in MSN via the stated address.

Miracle_seed
Moderator
Miracle_seed, who grew up in the town of leaning tower, continued his studies in college-in-the-middle-of-nowhere, and is now pursuing tertiary knowledge in the land of spices, of which he will be spending most of the time of his youth tasting delicacies of different spices. Quiet and a little passive with strangers, he could turn talkative with close friends, of which he shares his passions and interests with. Critical timing and endless workload wouldn't stop him from indulging in his interests e.g. geography, history and politics as his concentration easily sways away upon encountering interesting sites and articles. Despite being serious and all, he has a liking for things with suffix "mon" of some would assume generally do not match his age. He would love to travel to different places, but great inertia always seems to be an obstacle. Just drop him a message if you have any query and he would be more than happy to help in accordance with his capabilities.

JiinJoo

Jiin Joo joined the founding team of ReCom.org during its early days to help grow a global community of concerned Malaysian citizens, because he firmly believe that the exchange of a great idea is what sparks all great things to come, and Malaysians were in need of such a platform for exchange. Later he helped found the Stanford Malaysia Forum, which manifested as an annual event where Malaysian students and professionals come together with iconic figures and academics to create greater discussion and understanding of Malaysia and also its connection to the greater world, gathering different perspectives and building action plans based on common goals and shared dreams.
