A good progress for Malaysia and Singapore.

#UnsinkableSalesSeries #2 When two "new" leaders shake their hands in discussing bilateral relations and cooperations for two of the closest countries in terms of geography, they are doing "SELLING" metaphorically! I have decided to make this one of my continuous sharing on the #UnsinkableSalesSeries I started awhile ago. Everything revolves around selling and marketing online and offline. The nation leaders are no exception. They are the master craftsmen in that field on a daily basis, just like all of us who are involved in business. They set long-term goals, identify real challenges and needs of both parties, asking relevant and important questions, and oh yes, they negotiate all terms until both parties come out in a win-win result. Once the agreement 🤝 is reached, they take that business relationship to the future and continue doing the same thing for their people. And of course, both businessmen in leaders' form, need to be tactical, considerate, empathetic, and cooperative in their thinking and feelings when they discuss bilateral outcomes for many years to come as long as they are still in power. This is #unsinkablesales at the highest level for national leaders as every deal impacts millions of people under their stewardship. #QuantumLeap #BusinessMentor #Sales #Marketing #Leaders #ImpactLives #PrimeMinister

The Prime Legacy of Hon.Lawrence Wong—The reflections articulated by the distinguished Lawrence Wong, presently holding the esteemed positions of Prime Minister of Singapore, Minister for Finance, and Member of Parliament for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, subsequent to a momentous meeting with Prime Minister Hon.Anwar Ibrahim have been expressed with profound appreciation. This encounter marked his inaugural interaction in his current elevated capacity, and the ensuing dialogue facilitated the establishment of a robust foundation predicated upon mutual understanding and trust, with the shared objective of propelling bilateral relations to unprecedented heights. In a harmonious accord, the paramount importance of nurturing an environment conducive to collaboration was underscored by both leaders, with a specific emphasis on the pivotal role of prime ministers in setting the overarching tone for cooperative endeavors. The joint recognition of the instrumental nature of such concerted efforts in guiding ministers and officials towards engaging in deliberations imbued with a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect was evident. The collective consensus converged on the notion that fostering such an environment is instrumental in steering discussions towards fruitful outcomes, underpinned by a commitment to pursuing mutually beneficial goals and fostering sustainable progress. Furthermore, the collaborative efforts exemplified by initiatives such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ) serve as tangible manifestations of the shared commitment to advancing economic growth and regional development. With an unyielding belief in the transformative potential of this strategic partnership, both leaders envision a future teeming with opportunities aimed at uplifting the well-being of their respective populations. Leveraging the inherent synergies embedded in this partnership, they are poised to not only bolster the competitiveness, vibrancy, and forward-looking nature of the region but also usher in an era of sustainable growth and shared prosperity.

To achieve its second takeoff, Malaysia needs to be strategic. In the simplest terms, it means choosing what to do and what not to do, and at the right time.

Great book. A must read for all Chin Tong Liew

Great catching up with business associates and friends from Indonesia, Thailand & China last weekend! The beauty of the IP business is fostering connections & friendships that transcend borders. We had a blast bonding & sharing updates on both business & family. Even on a "rest day," these meaningful interactions make it a productive weekend. #intellectualproperty #globalconnections #businessrelationships #trademark #jcip #jcipmy

[WARM COUNTRY...] ... cold people? I don't think Singaporeans are cold, maybe just holding back a bit too much? That's why Personal Development is so important. We learn about ourselves, and why we behave like we do. Clinton Swaine's trainings definitely have the effect of breaking the mould, if one commits and participates to the maximum. If this post resonated with you, please leave a comment below and share this post! 💪 #FrontierTrainings #ClintonSwaine #krystalklear #treasurehunt

MALAYSIA AND THE AUDACITY OF WHITE PEOPLE | A Malay friend of mine in Malaysia just shared this with me: 'In the past few months, I have been actively engaging with some new contacts whom I have never met in person. Some of these people have great reputations (excellent PR and reputation built over many years), including some white foreigners who have been living in our country since the 1980s. My perception towards them changed after receiving their replies; while some couldn't be bothered to reply at all, others didn't even greet me by name when responding to my emails. What's even more concerning is that some of these white foreigners are still stuck with a neo-colonialist mindset. They run businesses here, paying locals substandard salaries and have the audacity to post job ads asking for Mandarin-speaking managers (when most of the business stakeholders are Europeans and locals, and most importantly the majority are Malays, demonstrating their lack of respect for the locals where they are living and earning), serving as a smoke screen to signal their preference for Chinese ethnic Malaysian candidates only. The audacity of these white foreign workers and entrepreneurs in Malaysia is astounding.'"
