Mutual respect is a key ingredient for business


RECENTLY my good friend from Singapore requested to meet up as he was coming to KL. As we have been friends for some 30 years, I could sense that he had something on his mind as he had asked for a quiet dinner just between the two of us.

As it turned out, halfway through dinner, he went quiet and suddenly said that his eldest son got married a month ago but other than a simple lunch between the two families, he did not organise any major wedding dinner for him. He apologetically explained that the newly wed couple had requested for no wedding dinner and instead wanted to spend a three-week honeymoon instead.
