At the time when he sat for his agent examination, there were only 5 Bumiputeras out of the 40 candidates. After passing his exam, there was no turning back.

The simple façade of the office building hides the magnificent within. Though the building is located on a quiet street in Klang, yet the same could not be said about the interior. Inside, lively staff are typing away on their PCs while happily chatting, toiling yet another day working at Imperia Asia. The first time we saw Muhammad Tarmizie Bidin, the founder of Imperia Asia Group, we were under the impression that he was some sort of government official, as he came for a photoshoot with a throng of people, escorting him as well as bringing his outfits for photoshoot. Sitting in the meeting room, everything was bare, save for the furniture, as the office has just undergone major renovation recently. The smell of fresh paint still lingers in the air as we were warmly greeted by the cheerful founder and his assistant.
