RobestYong was borned in Georgetown, Penang and had his early education at the Methodist School in Nibong Tebal, Province Wellesley. He began his working life with an engineering company where he was frequently sent aboard to enquire about the latest technologies and machineries.
Blessed with an inquisitive mind, RobestYong does not always believe in taking the beaten path. In 1989, he left his employment and started his own company to venture into the world of new ideas and inventions. And in 1993, his effort was paid off when the POLYCLONE instant rubber stamp machine was invented and marketed worldwide.
Prior to this invention, making rubber stamps had always been a slow and tedious process. Tiny lettering-bits need to be arranged and a plaster moulding casted on them. Then a rubber sheet will be placed over the plaster moulding and heated to form the relief for the rubber stamps. This volcanization method was ages old but still being used by the rubber stamp manufacturers all over the world.
The introduction of the POLYCLONE machine using the photo-polymerization technology enable rubber stamps of the highest quality to be produced within 5 minutes. Any computer printed images can be made into rubber stamps. This invention revolutionized the art of making rubber stamp throughout the world and it won the Gold Medal at the 1994 International Invention Fair in Geneva, Switzerland. Protected by worldwide patent, this invention went on to win many other international awards and sold to countries all over the world from Russia to Papua New Guinea....
RobestYong created many new inventions thereafter which won him many top national awards such as the 1994 National Invention of the Year, 1997 National Youth Award and the 2000 Outstanding Young Malaysian Award.
And his list of inventions grew and kept growing....
