Members of the Board of Directors
It’s all about unity and team work. After graduating with a degree from an Australian or New Zealand University in fields such as in law or accountancy or engineering or technology or business, each member decided to join hands and pool individual skill-sets to add value to the expanding family empire. At the heart of our business venture is the core value of respect for the mother and the motherland - to generate employment in the community, create sustainable values for the shareholders, and to be a shareholder in the nation-building process.
