LESSON OF SUCCESS : The Legacy of Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr The Hong Piow

Last 2 week, when I try to figure out what title for my book review? Suddenly, I saw my lovely nephew was playing with a book. The name of the book is “LESSON OF SUCCESS : The Legacy of Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr The Hong Piow” . When I read it, it was book from my sister-in-law ex-company, Public Bank.

As you already know, my sister-in-law is still in unconscious and paralyzed condition since a year ago. It almost 2 month she was admitted to Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Her employer pays for all the expenses. My lovely nephew that I always mention is Faris who is her first child before comma. I hope that she will recover and be able to continue raising her son. Please pray that she will be always happy with her loving family

I was respect about her company and how Public Bank management staff appreciates their staff. The thing that I want to share with you is about the book of the chairman of Public Bank.
