Building People
Quotes from Liew Mun Leong "The job on top is a lonely one. But if you want to lead, you have to be one of the troops too." "If you have the ability to lead, it will be a waste for the company, society and yourself, if you deny that responsibility." "If you can't or don't communicate, you can't lead. An uncommunicative leader will not last long." "The job makes you. You grow on the job. You can outgrow the job or the job can outgrow you." "A fast decision is better than a right decision. But if a fast decision is wrong, it is better to make a U-turn fast. " "Human resource is not human capital, unless we invest in it." "I was trained as an engineer and wanted to be a good professional engineer. I spent many years doing that. I had never thought of becoming a CEO." "Many of the solutions we arrive at are because there are no better alternatives. We know we just have to make them work for us somehow." "In solving our many difficult problems, 'application precedes theory'. After we accomplish something, we then begin to think of a theory to explain how and why it works."

Building People

"We can take calculated market or operation risks. However, we cannot take any reputation risk at all." "Linking real estate with the capital market is one of the strategies to create more Capital from Land." "Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE) are part of our corporate culture." "We have successfully 'exported' real estate overseas."

The Report: Myanmar 2016
While major strides need to be taken to promote inclusive growth, critical developments across the country’s economy continue to heighten investor appetite. This was given a significant boost with the victory of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) over the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) in the November 2015 national elections. The NLD is expected to build upon efforts taken by outgoing President U Thein Sein to improve transparency, promote peace and increase spending on health and education, which have to some degree alleviated the strain left behind by decades of military rule. With the incoming NLD administration expected to prioritise inclusive growth, the outlook for all segments of Myanmar’s population is looking significantly more positive.
