Danny Mahes aka Ksatriya is a Penang-based 31 year old full-time poet, musician and an avid creative community organiser since 2013.
Coming from a background of IT, Ksatriya was working in the manufacturing side of things and involved in the security business soon after. Although the job was great, it left him feeling unsatisfied overall. In 2013, he left it all to pursue his new life as a poet-musician.
Ksatriya’s music is a mixture of traditional Malaysian music, culture, poetry with Malay syair written into them. His strong passion for hard hitting words had moved him and a few others to create Say It Like You Mean It (SILYMI) A mentorship community that teaches and provokes creativity for young adults.
In late 2013, Ksatriya launched his EP titled Red. An eight track album filled with sculpted lyrics and soothing beats, the debut album received good reviews all over. In late 2015, Ksatriya received a grant from the Krishen Jit Astro Foundation for his current projects with SILYMI.
For the record, Ksatriya scored 25!

ASEAN Gateway To Cross Border Payments
ASEAN’s digital payments sector is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by increasing smartphone use, fintech innovation, and a booming e-commerce landscape. Key markets like Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are leading the way, with major opportunities in digitizing MSMEs and expanding rural financial access. Consumers are shifting toward mobile-first behavior, embracing e-wallets, mobile banking, and digital banks that offer greater convenience and accessibility. ASEAN central banks are strengthening cooperation to enhance payment linkages through QR code integration and shared standards. A major initiative, Project Nexus, aims to make cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and more seamless, though challenges remain in aligning regulations and infrastructure. As digital transactions surge, cybersecurity becomes critical, with the need to protect users without disrupting the payment experience. Importantly, digital finance is helping bank the unbanked, especially in rural areas, where mobile money and fintech tools are providing people with their first access to formal financial services.How can ASEAN ensure inclusive growth as digital payments continue to expand?
