My relationship with money started long before I entered real estate. I grew up in one of Singapore's heartland neighbourhoods, in an environment where money was something we were taught to be extremely careful with.
I remember eating 7-Eleven cup noodles for lunch during my school days because it was one of the cheapest meals that could still fill me up. At home, appliances were used until they could no longer function before being replaced.
These experiences shaped the way I think about money. I grew up believing that money is difficult to earn, and because of that, every financial decision matters.
Values and integrity should never be compromised for money. That belief continues to guide how I work today.
