Chronicles of Old Singapore | James Kwok – Mentors & Clients in the MNC Jungle Part 2

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.

He reflects on what he learned from sales, how he helped raise his daughters and why at the age of 60, he decided to leave the private sector and become a school counsellor.
