It's been 8 years since I joined Polyplastics, I'm glad that in this period I experienced an abundant career started as a shift-team member in PTM and as a production manager in PNL presently. In my feeling, PPC is a company that places the least barrier on the way for you to become the best. If must enumerate something, for me, she offers plenty opportunities of "To Know" and "To Practice".
I kept getting "To Know" because I received a lot of trainings both domestic and overseas, had frequent occasions to communicate with and learn from the profound experts and skillful colleagues from all group companies. I kept getting "To Practice" through assumed different positions, worked in different group companies, and more fruitfully, engaged or led various improvement projects in the past 8 years. Actually, working in Polyplastics itself, let me increase my know-how and experience regularly since she's the leading company in the engineering plastic industry.

In year 2004, I moved to Kuala Lumpur Headquarter and my job scopes were changed to focus more on financial reporting, auditing and taxation and reporting to Japan Headquarter. From there I can see the whole picture of Company's financial reporting and cash/financing matters. I also have been involved in budget preparation, transfer pricing, tax incentive and development of new costing system.
