A Letter of Recognition (1997)

A Letter of Recognition (1997)

My Journey of "subtraction" (A one-word Resolution)is almost reaching to the end of 2018, and I cannot deny that unboxing to declutter is a hell of a challenge!

However, there are gems to be found within these clutter like many interesting surprising old documents and memories reappearing in front of my eyes!

Here is another good old story to be shared is a letter from the management of my previous employer.

Another special bonus award in 1997 for the 1996 President's Safety Award.

Safety used to be HR functions in the good old days.

Then in 1996, our General Manager wanted me to take over in managing safety as well because at that instance I have done such a Quality job with the Total Quality Management (TQM).

Reluctantly, I assumed control of Safety from HR with an agreement from the management that I can hire someone with safety knowledge to be my advisor.

I managed to hire the best from the safety industry who is the President of the Singapore Institution of Safety Officers, Mr. Andrew Tan.

With him as my advisor, both of us worked tediously in turning a zero base safety system to a fully functioning and recognized system that received the Corporate President Safety Award.

Though this is history and not trying to brag. It is another episode from a guy who dares to take an opportunity given who has never been certified with any HSE certifications but managed to achieve excellence in his works!

I can achieve all these tasks successfully due to my strong belief in becoming an
(A) Agent for changes with always be
(B) Bold mentality;
(C) Courageous enough to
(D) Disagree and
(E) Encourage alternative views
.....that's FSY, A, B, C, D, E mode of Making A Dent!

People who ever mentioned that a Qualipreneur cannot manage a Safety Management System smoothly; ought to rethink their perceptions!

Recycle my old stuff to a Karang Guni man
Another load of clutter, I am almost there to achieve my 2018 one-word Resolution "Subtraction" Goal 2018 Achievable

An Old Tradition Hard To Change

An Old Tradition Hard To Change

This is actually not a new practice at all.

It has been a decades-old tradition in the container depot everywhere!

When I first got my Class 5 driving license 40 years ago, all I wanted is to be a truck driver.

I have always imagined myself sitting in this huge monster driver seat prowling down the road with command.

I used to have classes 2,3,4,5 driving licenses.

After a serious accident that landed me in the hospital sickbay for 20+ days, I decided to cancel my class 2 license.

I passed both the class 4 & 5 in only one test because I was an army 3 tonner driver!

Eventually, I joined an import & export company following trucks in & out of PSA.

Speed win for a day trip in the container depot and "kopi" money is a must to build relationships! 

It is a culture that I have seen during my apprenticeship and can't be changed. Hence, it is no surprise that this practice is still happening now.

If a Pig can fly, it is still a pig, therefore, the tradition will never change.

$1 might sound meagre to some but we are talking about tons and volume of goods or containers cargo leaving the depot, it adds up!

This "kopi" money is much better than their take-home basic salary!

That might also be the main reason why these port workers don't mind if they are not offered with minimum wages.

I have been there, see it, does it & move on... Adapt & Growth becoming a Regional TQM & HSE Manager.  Now a Retired Regional TQM & HSE Manager & a self-proclaimed  Qualipreneur.

#heartfeltwords from my daughter - Dec 02, 2018

A very Happy Birthday to my role model 

@fsyqualipreneur! 

I don't think he ever knows this but whenever we were tasked by our teacher to write an essay on 'our Role Model', I will most definitely always write about my dad! For the family, he climbed from a mere machinist up to a Regional Manager; if he ain't my role model I don't know who else can it be.

I see so much of myself in you which is maybe why we often are logging heads with each other and you can piss me off till I don't speak to you for months (the record was half a year) but deep down we'll forever care for and love each other.



He was there when I was going through a hard break up (you usually don't get that from Asian parents) and brought me to trek Bukit Timah Hill to make me feel better. He celebrated my accomplishments and brought me to see the world (and still pissed me off/make me cry on EVERY SINGLE one of our trips together - WITHOUT fail!). Now I'll just laugh about the past and I'll try to tolerate you pissing me off but I cannot stop being a crybaby (I cannot help it that I cry over the smallest of things).

SO...
𝓖𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓶𝓪𝓷 𝓭𝓪𝓭𝓭𝔂 '𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾', 𝓑𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 '𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾'.

We were taught to kiss and say this to him ever since we were young. Honestly you are really a 'good man', one of my BFFs and I really do love you😘💛

#PictureStory

#PictureStory 

I learned that when you observed something and with your smartphone you took pictures.

With the pictures, you add a story. And  suddenly 2 words became one  "PictureStory"

Awesome right... So here another #PictureStory 

What happens to our society?

Did we intentionally love to mass up any forms of functionality?

Or....? We lost our Social Behavior? 

Understand that we can ban chewing gum because___________________________
              (fill in the blank yourself) 

We didn't ban cigarettes because _________________________
(fill in the blank yourself)

This will be a "forever" problem... Unless...! 

Someone said "Fovever" is never ending"

That is true

But we need a "new beginning" to make a better Forever... That's FSYQualipreneur

Did we totally lost our social behavior?
