, Perak
, Malaysia. He attended St. Michael's Institution
up until Form 5
.
Back then there were very little entertainment options available. Hence Patrick's father took him and his mother to the movies everyday for the 9.15 p.m. screening, even though his father was not a movies fan. From his daily routine of watching a movie a day, Patrick learned to speak English by watching actors such as John Wayne
, Randolph Scott
, Henry Fonda
and James Stewart
. The habit of going to the cinema everyday stayed with Patrick until he was 24 years old. His personal record was watching 6 movies in a single day.
After high school, Patrick remained in Ipoh and became a salesman for life insurance and encyclopedias for 1.5 years. Finally his father told him to 'get a job'. So Patrick started applying for various jobs; at one point he applied to be an attendant for chartered flights. One day in 1966, he was having dinner at home when Rediffusion
, a cable radio station announced that they had vacancies for radio announcers. Patrick applied for the position, attended the interview and got the job soon after. He was 19 years old.
A few years later, Patrick was made the Divisional Manager for 'Sound and Film Services', a division set up by Redifussion to tap into the burgeoning advertising industry. Due to a nationwide demand for Patrick's voice talent, the division did well and in less than 9 months, it was in the black.
The then-managing director told Patrick that according to the terms of his employment contract he was only entitled to a salary and all monies earned from his professional talents (which included being a professional voice talent) rightfully belonged to the company. But as Patrick was a model employee, the managing director would make an exception and allow him to keep 50% of his voice-over fees. Patrick, who was then earning up to 6 times his salary in voice-over fees disagreed with the new terms, and resigned from Rediffusion.
exploded in the country. At that time, Patrick was frequently employed to be the DJ for private parties and similar functions. During an annual ball for the advertising industry, he was brought in as a 'support' for the performing band. The crowd reacted positively to the disco tunes that he played, and he was asked to perform for the rest of the night. After the ball, he was asked to perform at more private functions, spinning popular disco tracks. Seeing the popularity of 'mobile disco', Patrick started a company called "The Music Machine" for that very purpose.
began broadcasting in the Klang Valley
. Patrick, alongside with Mahadzir Lokman, Wan Zaleha, Robert Lam, and Caryn Lim were hired to be newscasters for the station. On Caryn Lim's last day on the job, Patrick was her co-newscaster. Patrick mentioned that Caryn was leaving the station, then stood up and gave her a friendly farewell kiss on her cheek. Controversy ensued as the press (strangely enough mostly the Chinese press) created a ruckus over the kiss aired on television.
After 2 years in TV3, Patrick found out that his news reading schedule was reduced. When approached by Patrick about his reduced reading spots, his editor informed him that from next month onwards, they would no longer require Patrick's services. Up till today, Patrick does not know the exact reason for his termination.

When Radio 4 went for 24-hour broadcast, Patrick also hosted a show in the 12 a.m. till 3 a.m. slot called 'Midnight Magic'. In Midnight Magic Patrick invited listeners to call in and tell ghost stories, a move that proved to be a hit among his listeners.

Rediffusion
In 1966, Patrick joined Rediffusion as an "English Programme Announcer Grade 3", earning a salary of RM$150 a month. For the first three months, he was not allowed to enter the studio. Instead, he wrote scripts and picked out songs for 'Lunch Time Melodies', only to have his supervisor tear up the list and tell him to rewrite it. At the end of the three months, he was allowed to work in the studio during non-peak hours, where his primary duty was to press buttons to air pre-recorded programmes. After six months, he was allowed to go on air, reading from pre-approved scripts. Within 2 years, Patrick was promoted to Assistant Programme Manager and a year after that, he was the Programme Manager for Rediffusion. The most memorable moment of his tenure in the English Programme Department of Rediffusion was when Patrick was told by his then Department Supervisor that he would never amount to much in the industry because of his physical handicap (Patrick contracted polio when he was 7 years old). Patrick eventually replaced the man as English Programme Supervisor.A few years later, Patrick was made the Divisional Manager for 'Sound and Film Services', a division set up by Redifussion to tap into the burgeoning advertising industry.

Voice of Malaysia
During Patrick's last few years with Rediffusion, Malaysia was going through an advertising boom. The local economy was vibrant, and the government introduced the 'Made in Malaysia' ruling: 65% of the elements in commercials that were meant to be aired over electronic media must be Malaysian, or Malaysian-made. Hence Patrick was called very often to do voice-over work. So much so that at one point of his career, up to 99% of English advertisements aired over electronic media were voiced by Patrick. That was how he became known as the "Voice of Malaysia".Mobile Disco

that year, Patrick collaborated with his friend on a prank about ducks. During his radio show, Patrick took a call from an advertising agency (who was in fact his friend) looking for ducks to be featured in a commercial for a new snack. According to the person who called in, the concept of the commercial was to place ducks on a hot place, so they would jump about. Other listeners called in the radio show to blast the ad agency, and the SPCA lodged a police report. When it was discovered that 'dancing ducks' was a hoax, the press went to town saying that Patrick was being irresponsible, and some even called for his resignation. Patrick's response to the issue was, "Can't you take a joke? Lighten up a little bit, you know."
