Richard Yeow
A post on Richard Yeow can mean only one thing. We are getting closer and closer to head honcho, numero uno .. Liew Sip Chon. I think some of you refer to him as God.
Richard was born so long ago that nobody can remember. I think maybe about the time when Christopher Columbus founded America.
Incidentally, how could have Christopher Columbus founded America when there were already people there. Weren't those people the ones to have founded America? niamah! And they say Francis Light founded Penang and Stamford Raffles founded Singapore like they were deserted islands. Such a bunch of conmen.
Richard was brought into Canon from Rank Xerox by Larry Poon. Larry was afraid of being lonely, so he brought along his cronies from Rank Xerox (now Fuji Xerox), Richard Yeow, Jack Lim (not the one you are thinking), and Philip Quek, the person who smiles all the time.
Richard was pretty thin then You see in Rank Xerox, it was quite tough making a living .. kar lan wan sek ahr. Coming to Canon then was like leaving Iraq to settle in the Bahamas. Richard was and still is an honest man. He told me a couple of time. "I can't sing, I am tone deaf." If you have not heard him sing, his good looks could have fooled you.
However, it did not stop him from trying. His friend Chua Hock Keat can't sing too, but was always there for support. A lost cause, I must conclude.
Sometimes he would go karaoke to impress the girls.
Respectfully, I must say he is one of the best salesperson I have ever known.
Whenever he tries to bring you over to see his point of view, he would first tell you, then look at you in the eyes and keep nodding his head until you too would nod yours. What a convincing fellow.
There are another 12 things I would like to reveal, but now he being the Senior Director biggest man in BIS, and can make or sodomise me; I think I am going to wait for him to retire. I don't
think I would have to wait very long. The guy is not exactly young, you know.
By the way, there is another thing. He said that if he 'kena' an incurable disease, he will consider suicide seriously. He thinks the best way is to direct car exhaust gas into the passenger chamber of a car via a hose. He said. " I think it is the best way to pass on. However, if you want to do this as well, remember to go to the toilet first. You can't go once things are on, because if you get out of the car, you may change your mind." ..
How wise!

Your post is hillarious! You certainly have got my brother dead-on, especially his singing. He is aware of his off tune tones but still graces everyone and anyone whom he can nab to listen to his lovely and very loud tunes. I must say that it is very entertaining.
Thankfully, I am home every other year or so in KL! I am happy for my bro for his success in Canon and life in general and I am terribly proud of him! He is a great brother!
From his absentee sister in Canada,
