GOLF IS HIS PASSION
During one of their coffee night outings after
work, Mr. Alfred, his best friend, thought of relaxing after
a hard day work by playing golf. They got hooked and
never turned their backs from it. Mr. Loh started to play the sport from
2001 and met people, who later on became their friends too, who have
the same passion for the game. They play locally and travelled to play
in Malaysia, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia and just recently to
Laos.
WORK EXPERIENCES
The path for being the man that he is now is
not easy for him. During the early days of his career,
he was in and out of Changi Prison frequently! Not for any criminal
offence of course, but as a Project in-charge of building the Male
and Female Changi Prison.
Mr. Loh left his family behind to work in Brunei and
Malaysia. He built chalets, bungalow houses and hangars for the
Royal Family of Brunei. He was also responsible for building the
terminal in Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
In 1999, he was recommended by Mr. Alfred Wong, his
best friend to join Utraco. His first successful mega project back
then was the HDB Headquarters in Toa Payoh.
After that, in October 2004, he left Utracon and
joined an Indonesian mining company. According to him, it
was one of the most memorable because has to endure
homesickness, rotating job, language barrier and different
rest days off.
Mr. Loh decided to come back to Singapore.
"Home is where the heart is" was true after all because he decided rejoined Utracon in September 2005 after his stint in
Indonesia.
ACHIEVEMENT AND SATISFACTION
For Mr. Loh, there is no greater feeling than achievement and
satisfaction after completion of every project he handled. For him,
being able to build something from a piece of bare land is a major
achievement. The satisfaction from his clients who were delighted with
the outcome of every project he handled is an achievement for him. He
is a true testament of dedication, loyalty and hard work when he was
awarded 10 years Long Service Award last April during our Annual
Dinner. With all his extensive experiences in life and work, he hopes to
continue to share the learning and knowledge he gained throughout his
30 years of working experience with the younger generation.
