Tim Cheah as a child on his uncle's shoulders at an education event

Where it all began

A young Tim with his uncle, already showing interest in education that would later inspire Yilmu

Built to serve Malaysian educators

Yilmu began with a small moment of kindness during the pandemic. That moment became our mission: give teachers time back and help schools decide with clarity.

During the COVID lockdown at AEON near Alor Setar, shoppers opened a lane so a nurse could get her groceries first. Watching that, our founder, Tim Cheah, felt a simple truth: serve the people who serve others. Motivated to help his mom who's a teacher, Yilmu is a manifestation of his passion for education and technology.
