Balkoni Hijau is a Malaysian personal finance blog targeting Millennials & Gen Z’s. I cover unbiased personal finance content based on my personal and practical experiences. I deliver my message in a simple to understand language with no fancy, pretentious jargon.
Short History of the Founder
My name is Helmi Hasan, and I founded Balkoni Hijau in 2019. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, and worked as a Design Engineer in the Oil & Gas industry in Singapore for about 4 years.
After the worldwide oil crisis hit in 2014, I was laid off from my job. I then returned to KL and started an Airbnb business targeting tourists in Bukit Bintang.
2020 came and slapped the world upside down. I closed my business and had to adapt to the ‘new norm quickly.’ I now work in the Digital Marketing field and am working hard to grow Balkoni Hijau’s audience on the side.

What People Are Saying About Balkoni Hijau
Great job Helmi. I worked in the motor industry for 17 years and yours is the FIRST article I can remember to address total cost of ownership. Most people don’t think of total costs. You mentioned tyres. There are also wear and tear items like wipers, brake pads, rotors.
