Regional Operations Conference 2009

We have this every beginning of the year, but this year did it in slightly different way. The agenda this year focus more on the upcoming changes for the Operations team and the moving forward plans.

The Conference having more discussion sessions this years between the team members and the HODs. This concept encourage team members to speak up their opinions and concerns on the new changes ahead.

Feedback have been discussed and summarised openly, I guess this will keep HODs busying for whole year. Let's work together towards the same goal.

Malaysia Community Service

From left to right, Jeniffer, Cindy and Lihua.

Today on behalf of GfK Malaysia along with a few other colleagues, we've paid a visit to Agathians Shelters in conjunction to our recent charity event which helps collected some donation to contribute to this orphanage.

The shelter home house about 40 children with only 6 rooms to share between them all. The surrounding seems clean but looking around at these children, it reminded me just how fortunate we are to have grown up in a warm and safe family.

According to the guardian, the shelter needs considerable fund each month in order to support these children. To date, they need more financial support to enable these children to a proper education.

If you would like to do your part as well in helping these children please contact any of our GfK committee members or call Mr Sivabalan at 012-2968014 or 03-79541680.

Farewell Ai Ling

Last Friday was our colleague Ai Ling’s last day in GfK Asia. We held a small farewell party for Ai Ling and bought her a farewell gift. Of course, with me around there would be lots of pictures taking too. If you are wondering why so many colleagues are dressed in pink, it is because Ai Ling’s favourite colour is Pink!

It is always sad for me to see someone leaving but we couldn’t keep people from moving along and to pursue their dreams. All the best to Ai Ling in her future aspiration!
