Khai started the drug-free youth association (DFYA) back in 2010.He started the NGO because he wanted to empower kids from drugs and substance abuses. He experiences it in his younger day when he’s brother were addicted to drugs and his family torn apart because of it. Khai work with his single mother decided to seek help for his brother after the 8 arrest, His mother had to face negative judgment and pressured from people in the village where they live. Facing traumatized and depression for several years. They had to move to an isolated area where Khai and his mother avoid his brother from relapsing again. Khai and His mother had to protect his brother from triggering, which comes from the pressure of the old friends.They manage to succeed. After 4 years of rehabilitation, his brother got the strength back and now starting a new family. Besides that lot's of his friends were drawn to drugs. Some of them are still in the rehab and some of them died, seeing that dark experience, he decided to start something.

 He starts a band just to campaign it,The band was formed in 1996 and embrace straight edge in 1999, which most of the band members turn to Straight Edge which is a totally clean lifestyle of don’t smoke, drink and do drugs  and some are vegetarian Throughout the years, they find it hard to have a show because they always raid by authority. After hard years, Khai initially registers his company called "United Front" which is taken from his skateboard collective in 1998. He thought that authority will not raid the shows and detain the kids. But he was wrong While working in a local college he explained by a guy to open up an association to be safe. He started to learn how to open an association and quit his job after that because he think's it's really important to have an association and protect the kids from getting arrested by playing music.He thinks that playing music is not a crime, compares by not doing anything and driven to drug use. Without any funding, he started do enter schools with the presentation slide he created. He tells stories about his life and how he become straight edge. In 2012, he introduced to a friend on how to get funding for the association. His friend introduces him to Myharapan Foundation and he was funded from there to enter schools without being worried about not having the salary. Throughout the years, he had been to 300 schools and university and talk to thousands of kids all over Malaysia. His work had been acknowledging by the government and government start to seek his advice on how to work with the youth especially in campaigning about drugs. He uses empowerment instead of scaring kids were pretty effective. He had been invited to government workshop and conference to share his ideas on how to confront the drugs problem in Malaysia. So far to date, DFYA had signed almost to 250 bands and receive 7k followers.

Together with his wife Collective call "The Traveler" they manage to get the message across. They now work in to assist the refugees in education line and assisting homeless for food and shelter. Besides that they work to help the disable, orphanage, a single mother and the poor for a better life . Both husband and wife are songwriters, create a  message through their songs they were written and spread it to their fans every time they had the chance.

For him is not easy to fight drugs, because he has to face drug dealers, pushers, cartels and user every day. His life is at risk on doing this. He used to be threatened by users in fisherman villageTelok gong, he saved a child and mother were about to get sold by his father because of drugs in Fisherman village, and his van got broken and flatten in drug area in Taman Medan. Lot's of kids who uses drugs also against his campaign. But he keeps fighting and spreading his messages among kids through his music and talks. He is now teaching other bands to be like him and spread the ideas through music and education. He believes that musician has the power that can inspire their fans to be like them .They are the politician in their scene. So why not inspire in a positive and creative way.
