Vietnam Connection: Nicholas Lau & James Yong meet up

Hot off the press ... Nicholas Lau, General Director of a subsidiary of Sime Darby, based in Hanoi met up for drinks with James Yong when the latter was in Vietnam on a business trip. Another reunion 33 years in the making.


Hmmm, a bit dark - let's see if the next picture is better ...


Ah yes, definitely much better ...

Nick has been in Vietnam for a few years, and his family - wife & daughter - are also with him there. He looks very fit, keeping trim at the gym and playing golf among other sports.

The pair reminisced about old times, old friends and lifetime adventures.

  1. I remember him! 200m record-breaking champ and favorite of all the Brothers! Aiyo...this is great! He and Poon Miang Peng were the famous sprinters and also the junior Francis Thian!

    Pls send Nic my warmest regards! Haven't seen him 1974-5? xD

  4. You looking good too, James. Matter of fact, you seem to be getting younger - your hair's looking darker since the other photo with Jimmy Kho. May be the lighting or ... LOL

    George.

  5. The darkness of the hair is obviously relative to the other person you're next to. Jimmy Kho's was still jet black. Nick's has turned an elegant grey. So I guess mine is in between.

    On the other hand, maybe it's a Benjamin Button situation & I AM getting younger ...

  8. Life in Vietnam is full of surprises and challenges from business standpoint. Be prepared for the unexpected and in the course that would keep your blood pressure down given the complexities of the rules of business engagement . Overall, Vietnam is a dynamic country in the making and people here are hard working.
