They share about the time they used to work for him and how memorable that experience was. The chances are high, dear reader, that even you have been uplifted by his tenure at institutions that form the apex of Singaporean nightlife and hospitality, OUE Restaurants, Zouk, and the Lo and Behold Group being amongst them.
It's not just that he is in the legacy-building phase of an over-40-year career that every club and restaurant he helms is the better for it.
