Retrenched at 48 with 6 Kids: Our Founder, Paul Ooi’s Story
In 2002, at the age of 48, our founder, Paul Ooi was retrenched from a global multinational company after more than 20 years of service to the company. As the sole breadwinner with 6 young children to provide for, he found himself at a loss. Retrenched in the midst of the SARS crisis, he knew the road ahead would be tough.
