But I could not bring myself to say those words, for fear of disappointing him and the legacy he was about to entrust me with.

Even though I had always known that I would eventually join the family business, I didn’t want it to be my first job. But instantly being labelled as the “boss’s daughter” made it even more challenging as I had to meet the unspoken expectations of a male-dominated industry. I took the opportunity then to build a more personal relationship with the teams, and understand their working styles and challenges.It was also through immersing myself with the operations team, that I managed to pick up the tricks of the trade.I was with the warehouse team at our headquarters rushing orders one night before the peak Hari Raya season when the power suddenly went out.
