Let’s get to know better this small dynamite from Sarawak.
Jay Jay Anak Muran. His father is an Iban from Sarawak while his mother is
Indonesian whom grew up in Tawau, with Chinese and Toraja heritage. Born in a
small town call Kanowit in Sibu Sarawak with four other older siblings.
Jay holds the life principle that if you work hard, success
will follow. He did well academically and enroll in Mukah Polytechnic for
petroluem production studies. After graduating in 2013, he was looking forward
to apply his knowledge by working in the oil fields, as he was offered to
further his studies in INSTEP (Institute Teknologi Petroluem PETRONAS). This
required him to pass a medical test…which he failed as he was diagnosed with
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
” End of 2013 I get
offer continue my study with INSTEP but failed for medical checkup, and
diagnosed with Leukemia so I went and get treatment.”  
 
“After that I get offer again (for 2nd time)
and I pass my medical test this time because my blood was stable. I studied for
1 year at INSTEP and graduated in June 2015, after that I went for Petronas
interview and pass but my medical test again failed due to the condition of my
blood.”

He is on medication and is feeling physically fine. But the
disappointment of not able to build a career in the lucrative oil and gas
industry affect him emotionally. His hope was crushed and his mind was clouded
with uncertainties. That was when he decided to use work out as a way to calm
his mind.
He enroll in Muayfit Damansara Perdana and met his coach
Lito Adiwang of Philipines, a professional MMA athlete. Lito uses martial arts
to guide Jay to develop his physical health and also mental strength. Jay took
