Proud To Be Malaysian: Personal Experience (Part 3)

Part 3: Malaysia is one of the most respected Muslim countries in The World and here is why!

An inspiring true story: A VP had once mocked me, but no one expected what I did the next day!

This unforgettable incident had happened to me 15 years ago but I never thought it could change my life forever.

Let me go back down the memory lane and recall what really happened back in early May 2002. Just like any other freshly hired employees, I had to participate in the compulsory orientation program at the training center. It is normal for big companies to conduct a similar program for their new employees.
