We’re thrilled to introduce the first round of speakers for WordCamp Malaysia 2025!This diverse lineup of developers, designers, educators, and entrepreneurs will share their insights, stories, and strategies to help you grow, build, and connect through WordPress.
Here’s your first sneak peek at the awesome folks you’ll be learning with this December!

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your blog posts actually rank — even in this wild age of AI — Kenny Lee has you covered!
With over 10 years of experience writing SEO content for big tech names like AWS, HubSpot, and Setapp, Kenny knows what it takes to make words work smarter. He’s helped brands all over the world climb up Google rankings with content that’s not only optimized but genuinely enjoyable to read.
At WordCamp Malaysia 2025, Kenny’s bringing his talk “Write to Rank – How to Strategize Blog Creation for SEO, AI, and Humans”, where he’ll walk us through what really matters when it comes to modern SEO. Forget the buzzwords and hype — this session is all about real-world strategies you can use right away.
Expect to dive into topics like:
- Pain-point SEO — finding what your readers really care about
- Keyword research that actually makes sense
- Structuring content for both AI and humans
- Smart topic clustering and on-page optimization
- And yes — using AI without losing your voice!
Kenny has conducted his own workshops and recently spoke at a marketing conference, so he’s no stranger to the stage. Based right here in Malaysia, he’s passionate about helping creators and businesses write content that connects, converts, and stays relevant — no shortcuts, just strategy.
“SEO isn’t dead,” Kenny says with a grin. “It’s just evolving — and if we can learn to work with AI instead of against it, there’s a whole new level of creativity waiting for us.”
Yves Tan
You don’t need to be a designer—or spend a fortune—to make your website look and feel amazing!
“Design isn’t just about making things pretty,” Yves says. “It’s about making your website work better for your audience—and you can start improving it today.”
Meet Yves Tan, an SEO Specialist who knows that great websites are built on more than just good rankings—they’re built on great user experience. In his session, “The 5 Essential UI Principles You Can Apply to Your Website Today,” Yves breaks down the core design secrets that can instantly elevate any WordPress site, no fancy tools required.
You’ll discover how to:
- Improve visual hierarchy so visitors instantly “get” your message
- Pick typography pairings that make your content shine
- Use white space to bring clarity and focus
- Choose color palettes that pop—all from your WordPress theme customizer!
As a local Meetup speaker and Toastmaster, Yves has a natural knack for turning complex ideas into clear, practical lessons that anyone can follow. When he’s not optimizing websites for SEO and conversions, you’ll probably find him deep in a book—or planning his next chess move.
Noor Khan
“You don’t need to be a developer to build something great,” Noor shares. “You just need to start — and learn from what not to do.”
If you’ve ever dreamed of launching your own WordPress product or service — but felt lost on where to start — Noor Khan has been there too. And he’s here to help you skip the mistakes most founders make!
In his talk, “From Zero to Launch: What Not to Do,” Noor takes us behind the scenes of his journey building WordPress-based products without writing a single line of code. Drawing from years of experience, he’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and what he wishes someone had told him earlier.
Expect honest, practical insights like:
- How to avoid choosing the wrong partners
- Why your first version should always be simple
- How ignoring customer feedback can cost you
- And what really matters in the early stages of launching
This session is perfect for non-technical founders, freelancers, or agencies ready to turn ideas into real businesses. Noor’s focus isn’t on coding tricks — it’s on mindset, strategy, and the art of learning from your missteps.
With over two decades in web and mobile development (and a WordPress journey that started back in 2008!), Noor has built hundreds of sites and apps around the world. Today, as the founder of LazyCoders LLC, he’s exploring how to bridge WordPress and mobile platforms — creating smarter, more connected tools for the future.
Having spoken at WordCamp Malaysia and joined a panel at WordCamp Sylhet, Noor brings both experience and empathy to the stage. His mission? To make your startup journey smoother — one “what not to do” at a time.

Ever wished you could just ask your website, “Hey, which product page has the highest bounce rate this month?” and get an answer instantly — no spreadsheets, no dashboard-hopping, no headaches?
That’s exactly what Stephen Paul Samynathan is here to show you.
In his session, “Level Up Your Marketing Analytics Using MCP,” Stephen redefines how we think about marketing analytics.

- Automate reports and uncover patterns without coding
- Build a workflow that saves time and boosts productivity
Stephen will even do a live demo of a system that bridges all your favorite platforms — proving that powerful analytics don’t have to be complicated.

With a strong background helping businesses from startups to million-ringgit companies, Stephen combines his love for programming, marketing, and continuous learning to create data-driven web solutions that truly make an impact.
