#VicariousIntrospection
What a mouthful. In other words, it’s #Empathy. The ability to understand another person’s experiences, feelings & perspectives. Or in more layman terms, putting ourselves in the other person’s shoes. Over the years, I’ve learnt that being empathic is critical in being an effective leader. More so during this pandemic.

Old but Firm, Firm but Old
Yes, the law is firm. But it’s also old. Employment Act 1955 & Industrial Relations Act 1967, like how the titles suggest themselves, are old.

The Elderly
My friends always tell me, do not give money to the beggars who come to us when we are dining at eateries. They are part of a syndicate that cheats money. Even if they are not, I am just encouraging them to be lazy. They have a pair of hands, they should work. My friends … Read more
