Daewoo E&C returned to the Singapore industry strategically after a long hiatus before successfully awarded with some residential projects and MRT Station with tunnels projects in the post 2010s. I had the privilege to join them as the local head of business development. The years spent in the Korean company was fruitful. I was able to seek suitable business opportunities and also lead the local team in technical bidding for projects. My local team worked with the head office bidding team seamlessly, and we won one of the biggest hospitals in Singapore history. I was most glad and proud to coordinate one particular project which I personally linked senior members of my country’s Ministry of Heath Holdings to a top hospital in Bundang, South Korea. The exchange session between 2 hospitals held in Korea was so meaningful which will bring good to both countries’ medical industry.
