Dear HL colleagues and friends,
Today, 12-Nov-09 is my official retirement from the Group. Being a 15 years loyal employee, I really have “no heart” to leave this big and challenging family. I called it family because I spend more than 1/3 of my time with it, and among us, we share and concern about each others during my ups and downs.
The HHMC, lead by Mr. Kwek, his departmental heads and their respective their staffs celebrated my 57th birthday at Wisma Hong Leong, Level 9 on 11-Nov-09 which I took it as also a farewell wishes to me as well. This was the 2nd time in my working career that a corporate top leaders celebrate birthday with me.
I have no regret to be with the Group for such a long serving years as I have learn alot along the way. Unlike multi-national where I worked for 16 years before I join the Group, I had amber opportunities to learn the business aspect of management with the Group. These opportunities had molded me into a holistic management expert which enable me to continue my pursuit in Total Quality Management for my post retirement career. Some of my colleagues have asked me what is my retirement plan? To tell you the truth, I have no prior planning for my retirement but now I have to think about the followings:-
- “start to plan”
- Convert my hobby in Internet Marketing knowledge and skill to commercial strategies
- Master my QPP / TQM knowledge and skill into simplified version for needed industries throughout the globe
For immediately access to me, I have created lmfoong blog where you can track where I am and what I do. I also use this blog to test my Google listing skill within 24 hours.
You may have noticed that my plan for post retirement is NOT to retire but seems to continue to work and work and work …. and you are right! I have no intention to retire from my pursuit in Total Quality Management, god bless me …
Last but not least, I wish you all happiness with you and your family. Advance in your business endeavor and investments.
Best regards from
Dr. L M Foong, Sr. Manager, QPP
