This book became a Singapore Bestseller after it was launched and was translated into Indonesian language and published in Indonesia.
The author provides readers with a realistic picture of what it means to be a towkay (meaning - boss) and tells the basic values and mindsets a needed to become a boss. Using Singlish and Hokkien expressions to drive home the lessons, readers will discover the hidden wisdom that lies in Singlish and Hokkien. Do you know what it means to: Steady Poon Pi Pi (Be Very Steady) Ai Kin Koh Ai Ho (Be Fast And Good) Wu Tao Wu Buay (Got Head Got Tail) Mia Kia Su Kia Si and more..... If Nike can say "Just Do It", Singaporeans can also say in Hokkien, "Ka Ka Lai"It is filled with nuggets of wisdom for young towkays, so don't play play with this book.
This book is timely as Singapore is encouraging more young people to become towkays. Entrepreneurship is encouraged at all levels from primary school to university. Now, everyone wants to become a towkay. But do they know the hard work and heartbreak of becoming a towkay? Do they know what are the realities of being a towkay? Newspapers and TV only show towkays driving Mercedes, wearing Rolexes, and living in big houses along Bukit Timah. But no one really tells you about the kor (difficulties) that they have to suffer. There is no shortcut to success.
