Interviewer : What challenge you the most in making sure your plan works? 

Kent : People. People is always my challenge, getting the team to work together, convincing them that they can do it, so that we can achieve it. It is harder than moving a mountain. Getting suitable fresh talents to participate actively in what we are doing are just as difficult, this is no ordinary man job.

Interviewer : Fresh talent is your challenge? What do you mean? Can you elaborate more? 

Kent : Well, when I said fresh talent i am referring it to young talent. You see, young people now is so different from what I used to be, attitude and behavior towards their job, their expectation is different, sum it up to what I want to share here is the younger generation seems to be more pampered in their life, so they are not as hardworking as we did. In time, i believe we will lose out to others if we cannot find a solution to this.

Interviewer : What is your strategy in 2009?

Kent : Be Prudent, Be Strong and keep moving into the unknown territories. Believe We Can!
