While Mu Gua Media thrives as a creative and edutainment powerhouse, its founder Chan Ming Yang built a second pillar of impact, M&A Education, an education brand dedicated to shaping the mindsets, character, communication abilities, and future-readiness of today’s youth.
As the founder of both Mu Gua Media and M&A Education, Ming Yang believes deeply that creativity, character, and confidence must coexist. He has always seen education not merely as knowledge transfer, but as transformation, a process that empowers young people to rise above limitations, discover their voice, and step into their full potential.
His belief is simple yet powerful:
“Before a young person can succeed in the world, they must first understand themselves.”
From this philosophy, M&A Education was born, not as a tuition centre, not as a typical enrichment brand, but as a transformative youth development movement. Ming Yang designed M&A’s programs to guide youths through the realities of a rapidly changing world: how to communicate effectively, build confidence, strengthen emotional intelligence, lead with clarity, and develop resilience , all through the cornerstone of public speaking and soft skills development.
The Three Core Pillars of M&A Education
- Mindset Development
M&A helps young people build an internal compass, teaching them how to think, not what to think.
Students develop:
- confidence and self-belief
- emotional strength and resilience
- self-awareness and identity
- character and personal values
- sound decision-making
- discipline and responsibility
These are lifelong fundamentals rarely taught in school, yet essential for future success. Ming Yang ensures every lesson builds the foundation for a strong, independent, and purposeful young adult.
- Communication & Leadership Education
Drawing from Ming Yang’s personal experiences in public speaking, storytelling, leadership, and media, M&A teaches youths how to express themselves with clarity, authenticity, and conviction.
Programs include:
- public speaking
- presentation mastery
- leadership communication
- social confidence
- creative expression and storytelling
Here, students learn to step into their voice, to influence, inspire, and connect with others. This is where confidence is not memorised; it is experienced.
- Career Exposure & Future Skills
M&A also serves as a bridge between education and the real world.
Through collaborations, experiential workshops, and exposure to Mu Gua Media’s creative ecosystem, students gain real-life insights into:
- the media and creative industry
- entrepreneurial thinking
- content creation
- project execution
- teamwork and leadership
- professional creativity
These experiences help them understand career relevance early, preparing them with the skills needed for a changing future.
A Founder Who Cares Deeply About Youth
What makes M&A Education truly extraordinary is the heart of its founder.
Ming Yang does not teach from textbooks. He teaches from:
- personal challenges
- failures
- rebuilding from zero
- lessons in resilience
- years of guiding youths and creatives
- a genuine desire to uplift the next generation
He understands that young people don’t just need knowledge, they need belief. They need someone who can see their potential even before they recognise it themselves. He often reminds his team:
“Youth don’t need perfection. They need guidance, direction, and someone who believes in them.”
This philosophy is woven into every program, every lesson, every interaction at M&A.
A Vision of Impact for the Next Generation
Looking ahead, Ming Yang’s vision for M&A Education is bold and profound.
He aims to scale M&A into a regional youth empowerment movement across Southeast Asia , empowering thousands of young individuals with real-life skills that extend far beyond classrooms.
His upcoming plans include:
- regional youth leadership camps
- mentorship programmes with industry professionals
- student media showcases
- youth character and values development modules
- hybrid online/offline learning systems
- creative youth incubators
- real-world exposure through Mu Gua Media collaborations
M&A is designed to raise a generation that is not only intelligent but:
- grounded
- confident
- creative
- self-aware
- purpose-driven
- future-ready
This is education reimagined for the world that youth are entering, not the world of the past.
A Brand That Changes Lives
Under Ming Yang’s leadership, M&A Education has become more than an educational brand. It is:
- a movement
- a home
- a community
- a platform for identity discovery
- a foundation for confidence and character
It is where young people learn who they are, what they stand for, and what they can become.
By founding both Mu Gua Media and M&A Education, Ming Yang has built an ecosystem, one that merges creativity, education, empowerment, and purpose. Together, these two pillars shape not only brands and stories but lives.
His legacy is not defined by the companies he builds, but by the people he empowers through them.
Because at the heart of it all, Chan Ming Yang is more than an entrepreneur.
He is a mentor.
A storyteller.
A guide.
And most importantly, a visionary committed to uplifting the next generation.
