LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

BE VALUED,
REWARDED.

As Founder and C.E.O. of 81Group, I see myself as a Global Malaysian Entrepreneur, who wants to build great companies, push forward to develop new concepts and engage in multiple aspects of creating, launching and growing the 81Group portfolio.

Looking back on our past footsteps, I strongly believe that each trial and error, as well as each achievement and triumph, has served as a solid foundation for a greater march forward. In 81Group, we believe that when undertaking something with our 8 golden rules nothing is unattainable.

The desire to expand in Southeast Asia, to create value and to live a long-term economic development rooted in Malaysia has always been a driver of 81Group’s development. The most valuable asset of our company is our personnel; we nurture careers, skills and potential while building our culture and capabilities.

The 81Group’s culture and values are designed to guide our people and subsidiaries, protect our integrity, realize our vision for the future and carry out our social responsibility.

8 GOLDEN RULES

Rules to Success.

The founder describes these principles as practical rules applied across life, career and CSR.

8GOLDEN RULES TO SUCCESS

RESOURCES INTEGRATION

Everyone plays a different role in a team. We can make a big difference by gathering all little force together, whether in money, idea or man power.

DARE TO TAKE CHALLENGE

Starting something new for the first time can be challenging. Dare to fail, dare to be different. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

LEVERAGING CONNECTION

Leveraging connection and resources is the first step in expanding opportunities. With leverage, you can get more time, better fitness, career or business success.

FAST ACTION

Dreams don’t work unless you take action. The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.

KEEP LEARNING

The world keeps changing. One of the most effective ways of dealing with changes is with lifelong learning.

GIVING DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Giving is not a zero-sum game. The more you give the more you have. When you give to the less fortunate, you add to their lives — and by adding to theirs, you add to yours too.

CHANGE MINDSET / METHODS

Teamwork is fundamental to achieve a win-win situation. Two or more people are always efficient than one for solving problems, finishing difficult tasks and achieving goals.

RECEIVE WITHOUT FORGETTING

Seeing the smiles, gratitude and expressions of hope on the faces of those you are kind to makes the act of giving worthwhile. Always stay humble and continue to do what you do.
