PERSPECTIVES FROM
OUR PEOPLE

At all levels, our employees strive to live by the Group’s Values, and to make a positive impact in our engagements with the industry, our customers, our partners and the communities we touch. Here are their stories.

Mr Ean Kuok

Gratitude is not just thinking about how thankful we are; it’s about living out that gratitude-the actions we take each day. It requires us to remain alert of the roles of others in our lives, make sense of our lives and learn to credit others with appreciation.

Mr Kuok Khoon Ean
Chairman, Kuok (Singapore) Limited

Mdm Kay Kuok

Compassion enables us to understand someone else’s situation and desire to improve their lives. To be compassionate, we need to lead from within ourselves, have genuine concern for others and be outward focused to inspire through encouragement and empowerment.

Mdm Kay Kuok
Director, Kuok (Singapore) Limited

Mr Tan Thai Yong

I believe our level of success is determined by our level of effort and motivation. If we put in 50% of the effort, we should only expect 50% of the results. We should not lower our targets simply because it is easier to achieve. Instead, we should reframe our challenges and inspire the team to pull hard in the same direction.

Mr Tan Thai Yong
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, PaxOcean Group

Mr Priyadarshan

It was very rightly said that compassion comes from within, and it is not something that you can fake. Work done with true compassion brings joy and happiness to both sides. You never know how deeply you may have touched someone else’s life or the positive impact thereafter.

Mr Priyadarshan Pandey
General Manager, POSH Group

Mr Hong Hua Liang

To achieve unity from diversity, it is important to seek common ground from different views, prioritise what truly matters and ‘let go’ of little things to achieve better outcomes, as the Chinese proverb goes: “求同存异,抓大放小”.

Mr Hong Hua Liang
Senior General Manager, Allgreen Group

Mr Daryl Choong 1

The adage “if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together” rings true not only in the work we do but also in life in general. Unity and teamwork get us to where we may not be able to get to on our own.

Mr Daryl Choong
Senior Manager, Group Treasury

Ms Yeo Hwei Yen

Unity means everyone in the team has a voice at the table. We embrace the robust debates and differing views because this is our secret sauce to get to the optimal solution.

Ms Yeo Hwei Yen
General Manager, Group Tax

Mr Ciaran

Unity is when a team comes together with the same objective to push towards a common goal to succeed. Unity is created when people care about their teammates.

Mr Ciaran McLoughlin
Operations Manager, K2 Group

Mr Chaw Mun San

In the service industry, we show “Gratitude" by delivering the best outcomes to our client in response for their trust. Within our group, regardless of which position you are in, we need to remember that it is a collective effort in making the former possible.

Mr Chaw Mun San
Senior Manager, PCL Group

Ms Yong Hsin Yue

We are courageous in facing our toughest challenges and embracing the need for change in order to thrive in a continually disrupted world. Our core value of “Effort” signifies resilience and agility in our workforce which are critical to our long-term success.

Ms Yong Hsin Yue
Managing Director, Kuok (Singapore) Limited

Commitment To The Community

We care and look after the well-being of our people and the community. We are privileged to have the means to support worthy causes, create opportunities and improve the lives of others, and we do these together, with a strong sense of social responsibility and obligation. These sentiments are very much rooted in our Group’s core values of Gratitude, Compassion, Integrity, Effort and Unity.

Beach clean-ups in Singapore, Saudi and Philippines

In 2024, our Group ranked among the Top 5 companies in terms of amount of marine trash collected in partnership with Green Nudge. Our overseas offices also carried out beach clean-up activities in Saudi and Manila, Philippines.  The beach clean-up activities are a reminder of our impact on our beaches and marine ecosystems. It also emphasised the importance of community involvement in tackling environmental issues and that each of us can incorporate sustainable practices and habits to be more environmentally responsible.

Outings with seniors and children

We care about the well-being of our people and the community. Aligned to the Group’s core values of Gratitude and Compassion, we have been partnering Dementia Singapore and Life Community Services Society (LCSS) to organise outings for seniors and children/ youth. In 2024, our volunteers brought the seniors to Gardens by the Bay for a sensory tour. We also worked with the MightyKids, Family & Community Centre under LCSS on a series of holiday activities from June to December 2024 that include an outing to River Wonders, a terrarium-making workshop and a visit to the mall to get shoes and books for the new school year.

Support for communities in need

Across 2023 and 2024, our volunteers have participated actively in meal preparation and food packing activities organised by Willing Hearts, Dignity Kitchen and FoodBank. In addition to learning more about the less privileged communities, our volunteers were able to distribute food to seniors as well as enjoyed tea sessions with them after the food preparation sessions. We also organised our first food donation drive in October in conjunction with World Food Day. More than 860kg of food items were collected and distributed to various communities in need through Food from the Heart.

Volunteering activities of overseas offices

More than 300 colleagues from our overseas teams including China (Zhoushan), Indonesia (Batam), Ireland, Malaysia (Johor), Philippines (Manila), Saudi Arabia volunteered participated in more than 35 volunteer activities that include beach clean-up activities in Saudi and China, tree-planting in Ireland, Malaysia and Philippines, bi-weekly mentorship for local students in Indonesia, food packing, groceries donations and festive visits to seniors and children in China, Malaysia and Philippines.
