Watch the Lunch with Sumiko series:

That was a beautiful lunch and a down to earth chairman. Even as a student he told his cousins not to spend too much.

Kwek Leng Beng looks very good for 82 years old

In yesterdays ST interview, he mentioned KPI which he felt was too academic. Up till today i still do not understand the usefulness of KPI. Not many people embrace it passionately. More like "you want me to do it I do" type of KPI attitude. Finally got someone coming out to spurn the KPI that experts touted so much.

Absolutely truth that without passion you cannot achieved anything.

🙏 I am a customer to Hong Leong Bank because of their Professionalism & Understanding with their customers! If any advice , I would say , watch our mouths , it's more beneficial & more effective to give appropriate praises than scoldings to our colleagues so we can work together better as a team! Always give advice before they make the mistakes , as some mistakes are quite final & can be fatal! Hard ball trainings were of the 1930s to the 1990s ... Nowadays workers prefer the Softer but More Informed Approach in doing things as situations & conditions are so much more global , challenging & chaotic! 😮🙏 Thank You So Much NST for sharing! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊🇸🇬🇲🇾

Very accurately described, procedural and don’t think so much!

A humble man. I agree passion is key in anything you undertake. You need to be a people’s person in the hospitality industry.
