Captain Roti: The retired army captain who beat cancer and started a baking business | Video
Diagnosed with late-stage cancer, retired army captain Faud Fahmi was given a 5% chance of survival. He fought back and beat the disease - then discovered a passion in baking. But it would take many more months, working late into the night, before he perfected his first croissant. Today, he specialises in French-style pastries with a local Singaporean twist, and dreams of setting up his own baking academy.
