Sergei was a two-time Olympics Champion and a six-time World Champion. You can imagine what a huge star he is in the world of sports wrestling. Sergei […]

I was given the opportunity to share with some teachers recently.  I told them, I considered it an honour and priviledge to address them because, “I’m a ‘product’ of teachers. Without them, I’m nothing”. It was also a humbling experience because teachers, more than many other professions changed the world by moulding and shaping the […]

There are parties and there are parties. What I’m about to share with you is one of those parties that will stay in my mind for a long time to come. It was the 60th birthday celebration of my old friend, Col(Ret) Tan Hang Khee, a party that was organized by his family because, in the […]

It was fortunate that I remembered our company’s monthly birthday celebration today. I almost wanted to run to a new appointment and if I had done that, I would have felt really bad.

This morning, an old friend walked into my office unannounced. I’ve known him since my army days, more than thirty years ago. Strange as it might sound, when we first met, I was his platoon commander and he was j…ust a recruit. Somehow, we continued to meet even after we ran-out-of-date in the army (military […]

This evening, my mind travelled back in time, back to a small little village. The lights were dim, the air humid. A group of people, ordinary looking people were sitting closely together – rows after rows in a cl…assroom setting. All eyes were in front, their minds transfixed as the training facilitator recounted the crises […]

Do you like to have a sure-fire principle for success? Many of my friends will tell you that I’ve been an ardent student of the art and science of success. Over the years, I have invested more time, more money, a…nd more energy in this area than the ordinary person-on-the-street. I have attended many trainings […]

I joined 84 good-hearted grassroots volunteers at Batam Island for an overseas retreat. While there were some elements of work, by and large it was designed for us to have a good time (a very important factor in volunteerism) and to build a stronger relationship and bond with one another. For those who have gone […]

A friend that I have not met for more than 30 years dropped by my office and had dinner with me. Except for some wrinkles, his face has not changed. I once joked on the fb group that put us together again that h…e still has the Chow Yun Fatt style, minus the height. He […]

Once again, we had another wonderful My HSR Family Congress. The theme this year was aptly crafted, Winning The Future Now. In recent times, there was a convergence of forces that will change the landscape of our industry. The global economic uncertainty, newly-introduced laws, cooling measures, and the shifting of other tectonic plates will cause […]
