As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on 2024 – a year of transformation. It was a year of planting seeds, laying foundations, and navigating the delicate balance of professional and personal life. While the path wasn’t without challenges, those very moments shaped me and brought clarity to my journey ahead.
The journey with Sukha Golden has been a cornerstone of 2024. From signing monumental agreements like the bilateral silver economy partnership with China to crafting innovative solutions for senior living across Asia, we took bold steps forward. The upcoming Sukha Senior Resort, our flagship set to launch in 2025, stands as a proof to countless hours of planning, collaboration, and a deep commitment to creating meaningful spaces for seniors. This year, I saw Sukha not just as a business but as a purpose – a calling to redefine how we care for our ageing community.
Personally, this year brought its highs and lows. Balancing family, a demanding career, and constant innovation wasn’t easy. Yet amidst the chaos, there were moments of joy – seeing my children grow, witnessing milestones, and finding inspiration in challenges. A proud moment for me as a father was watching my son score a perfect 50/50 in his Cambridge Checkpoint exams. I see in him the qualities of a future leader and perhaps the next generation to elevate Sukha further.
2024 was truly a year of planting seeds, from new ventures like caGrand to expanding Sukha’s footprint into Vietnam and conceptualizing ideas like Sukha World. I also had the privilege of speaking on global platforms, sharing insights to spark change in the senior living industry. There were setbacks too, but I see them as opportunities to refine the vision.
As the year closed, I was humbled to be named in the Wiki Impact 100 Changemakers under the Healthcare category. This recognition was a reminder that the seeds we plant today can resonate far and wide, inspiring others to dream, innovate, and create.
Looking toward 2025, I see it as the year of growth, the year where the seeds of 2024 take root. My aim remains clear: to make our investors and shareholders proud by delivering on promises, creating value, and showcasing Sukha’s potential.
And here’s a teaser, something I’ve dreamed of is about to come to life. We’re preparing to launch our Foundation, a way to give back to society meaningfully. More details will follow, but this step fulfills my purpose: to make a difference where it matters most.
To everyone who has been part of this journey, thank you for your belief in the dream. Together, we step into 2025 – a year of growth, resilience, and flourishing beginnings.
Let’s make it unforgettable.
