IMPORTANT FAREWELL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FARAH
In 2021, after years of training professionals in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy across Malaysia, I envisioned something more: a centre to support the growth of ACT in our region. That vision became ACT Kuala Lumpur, or ACTKL, which I fully funded and helped establish.
ACTKL was built from my value of contribution to society. Its mission was to establish ACT in the region. I now believe that mission has been accomplished.
Recently, the name and logos of ACTKL were successfully registered under trademark, and a business takeover was attempted. This was not foreseen, and I was caught off-guard.
I have done nothing wrong legally, and have now removed all content with ACTKL logos from public view. I am in a strong legal position to challenge these actions and pursue formal remedies, including police reports. However, those would not reflect my personal values. My values have always been generosity and integrity. These remain unchanged.
There are many ways to let someone know they are no longer needed, but this has got to be the best way. Therefore, I choose to step away gracefully and peacefully.
Thank you for the years of support, trust, and community. I leave with gratitude and a full heart.
Based on how this company’s value has been perceived, my mission has been fulfilled.
If you wish to contact me, my email is farah@forepsych.com.au. I will be removing myself from the ACTKL social media platforms shortly.
Goodbye, ACTKL.
And goodbye, Malaysia.
Until we meet again.
Farah Gulamoydeen
P.S. ACT Foundations+ is still happening this coming Monday. It will be my final workshop in Malaysia for the foreseeable future.
