Once a teacher, always a teacher. Ben has always written – his command of English and eloquence are the things that have always captured my attention. Finding people who write, as Ben does, is rare!  Throughout his life, most of which was in service and volunteering, Ben draws upon and shares his historical accounts of people and experiences – much of which we all can learn from. Through this book, he gives us a legacy to contemplate.
Krishnan Srinivasan, Chartered Management Accountant and President of PMI Malaysia Chapter
