Lunch with Mr Sun Tze

I had lunch with Mr KH Khoo,nickname " Mr SunTze" . He is a lecturer in the " Art of War ".The Art of War is a set of war strategy developed during the era of the Three Kingdoms in China. SunTze is a very clever general who lays down a strategic principles to fight and win wars. Later, some smart fellas used the strategy to conduct their business. So, people liken business to war. One of the very famous principle is " to know your yourself and your opponent, a thousand wars will be won".

In my articles, I have wrote about several lunch with him and each lunch encounter with him , I will get a book from him. He is also a writer and he has several books to his credit. He wrote frictions and real life stories esepcially about gangsters and the Police. He wears white as a mourning for his wife who have passed away for two years and he always say to me that he is waiting for GOD to take him away so that he can see his wife.

We talk about several topics during the lunch with me and my boss. He has become a dear friend to my boss and both of us have attended several of his lectures. He told me his recent experience with a customer in Kl. He seldom have meeting with his clients.

During the business interview, his client say that his fees is too expensive and wish to have a discount. He counter back by saying that good things never cheap and cheap things never good. He asked his client whether he is wearing a " rolex watch" and his client's answer is affirmative. He told that those people who wear rolex watches cannot repair their watches in any other watch shops as it is a quality watch. A good lecturer is like a quality watch which command a price. If he wants an elba watch, it has different values. Finally, the interview was an open end with the customer still considering his lecture.

In my experience, he is a good presenter and a skillful orator. He knows his stuff and he speak with passion and humor. I would like to say that his lecturer is never a dull moment.

We moved on to his latest book which he talks about Police work. He co=author with a very high ranking Police General who related his achievement in his book. In the book, he discourage road blocks conducted by police and Police hiding behind trees, pillars , drains to catch traffic offenders. In the book, he also highlight the latest development where the Police established umbrella squads , mobile squads which respond to any incident within minutes. It is a book which talks about Police work in Malaysia.

He also talks about the Politics in Malaysia and also the 13 General ELections and the possible outcome. He also talks about possible consequences after the 13th GE and the on-going scandals in the country. Well, he expressed his opinion with passion in these subjects and he finally thank us for taking time to meet and eat.

We say " see you again" amd we moved on with our lives. The experience after each meeting left deep impressions on me and how many more meetings with him in the future I do not know. I believe we should manage use of each moment to enjoy the company of each other and make it a useful interaction. Enjoy the present moment and live it meaningfully.

I would like to say thank you to him for making that one hour of lunch meaningful and passionate. Wishing him all the best and see him the next time.

Namaste.
