Learn about this simple but effective and practical innovation to enable water filtration without tedious setup or complicating maintenance. It does not require the building of high tower tanks, water pressure from the tap or electricity to run a pump. Robest Yong had been in the invention scene for the last 25 years in Malaysia. In 1994, Robest Yong was the recipient of the Malaysia Inventor of the Year award for his multiple international awards winning invention, the Polyclone Instant Rubber Stamp Machine which revolutionized the art of making rubber stamps. During his career, Robest had created many other innovations which among them was the VisionTouch Braille Phone which enables the blind to use a smartphone to type and send text messages with accuracy, speed, and ease. This invention won the APICTA award and was presented at TEDxKL in 2013. In 2010, Robest Yong was appointed the Innovation Ambassador in Agency Inovasi Malaysia (AIM) which is an agency under the Prime Minister Department. His most recent innovation is the Efinity EZ Water Filter in collaboration with his wife to enable the rural communities to have clean drinking water. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
