#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.

天无绝人之路 - encapsulates my journey over the past 30-over years. I shared in a Zaobao feature how this spirit of always trusting in God's providence brought me through the many challenges during the financial crisis, 9/11, SARS events; and how this persevering spirit has inspired me to venture into immigration services 3 years ago and next onto the e-learning platform to assist people who aspire to pursue careers in Singapore.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆: 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮? “𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁" Malaysia Day or also known to Malaysians as Hari Malaysia, is celebrated to commemorate the joining of the Federation of Malaya, North Borneo (Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore to become a new country called Malaysia. On July 31st, 1957, the Federation of Malaya's Independence Act 1957, an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, came into operation, which leads to an independence for the Federation of Malaya on August 31st, 1957. On July 9th, 1963, the Malaysia Agreement was signed by the governments of the United Kingdom, Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo (Sabah), and Sarawak. The agreement set out the terms and conditions for the component states to be federated under a new constitution. It was formally established on September 16th, 1963, however, due to a disagreement between the central government and Singaporean authorities, Singapore opted to secede from the Federation on August 9th, 1965, thereby becoming an independent nation. Therefore, as of present, Malaysia is a proud nation consisting of 13 states and 3 federal territories! #InfoGenius #SkillsTrainingCentre #MalaysiaDay #AboutMalaysiaDay
