Before anything else, SME stands for Small and Medium Enterprises. I didn’t get that part until later when it was just so obvious. You might think that I did a typo when the usual phrase is “Adding Value to your Business” instead of “Adding Values to your Business”, but you’re reading right. This time, it’s not about the money. It’s about the values that a lot of people lose while trying to grow the value of their business.

This post will centralize on what adding values to you business is all about. For a more detailed account of the actual event, you may refer to Jaysee Pingkian’s series of posts.

According to the news channel that we watched, the hostage taker was a respectable person when he was still in service. When I found out about his awards in service, the first thing that came to mind was his retirement pay. He only had two years left before he can apply for voluntary retirement. Once he retires, it would’ve been a happy long life ahead.
