THE VIEW Etikans Say I love to be involved in negotiations and dealing with the vendors and business partners. I have always enjoyed communicating with people from other countries as well as my colleagues as it helps to improve my English communication skills. Personal items on my work desk: Devotional photos as they make me feel at peace. Ngo Thi Thu Hoai Senior Purchasing Executive, Tan Viet Xuan Production Joint Stock Company, Vietnam The part of my job that I enjoy the most is hitting targets. I remember there was a time when I failed to hit my targets for three consecutive months. I felt disappointed and almost gave up. At that point, Mr Puah, Mr Ooi as well as my colleagues kept encouraging me. I hit my target the following month. Dawn will come after darkness and you just have to keep on trying. I wish to say ‘thank you’ to my colleagues for the spiritual support. Two things about me that no one knows; I love to read about investments and Popular Book Store is my favourite reading spot. As I have acrophobia, I would avoid tall buildings and would only take ground transport. Everyone can fly but it’s just not for me. Koo Shau Peng Field Sales Associate, Etika Sdn Bhd, Alor Setar The main highlight of my two years with Etika has been the establishment of PT Etika Marketing (PTEM) in 2012. I would like to describe it as the “baby period” where the company started crawling, walking, standing up and running. I am optimistic that PTEM will be an inspiration for other manufacturing companies. My favourite part of the job role is assisting my team by providing materials to ensure that production runs smoothly and the finished goods are constantly available to fulfil market demand. I am afraid of the dark and I love oldies. Reny Widiastutik Supply Chain Executive, PT Etika Marketing Indonesia Being two years with Etika, my favourite part of my job is solving problems. I enjoy finding out more about my field of work and getting an in-depth understanding of facility engineering. At work and outside of work, I am known as Kumaresh but my real name is actually Sivakumarasan Indran. Kumaresh Indran Utility and Facility Engineer, Etika Beverages Sdn Bhd, Bangi 1
