Ms. Ban has been heading our Operations and Admin department for the past two years plus.  Prior to joining First Solution (FSSB), she was the Senior Accounts staff in Diversified Gateway Berhad for 7 years.

Her voice is often only heard when she tries to ensure operations arrangements are done right.  The sales department would leave the sometimes customer demands for us to meet unreasonable timeline handled by her.  Not because she is ‘garang’, but because she is best at making negotiations.

Though we don’t speak to each other much, her silent positive lifestyle just cannot go unnoticed.

In a company that is pretty much dominated by young to middle aged staff, she never let some of our silly outing ideas a miss.  Be it a long karaoke session, lunch at Hard Rock Café, occasional ‘teh tarik’ after work, she’s a sport at making some quality time though customers keep calling till 7pm. 

It is quite strange because we, the younger ones, do not seem to find enough will power to join her for her Tuesday brisk walk at the park right behind this building.  But she helped us get more oxygen in the office by looking after all the potted plants.

Today is her last day with FSSB, she is going to join the permanent company; of her son, daughter, husband and not forgetting the family’s dog.

Our best regards goes to you Ms. Ban!  Thanks for everything.
