CEO'S MESSAGE
By the time you read this, we would have launched The Asian Captive Conference 2018, to be held in Kuala Lumpur on 1 & 2 August. A sincere word of thanks to our partner Labuan International Insurance Association for stepping up again this year, your support is invaluable. More information is available at www.theasiancaptiveconference.com
The team and I are also extremely excited to host the Labuan IBFC Asset Leasing Symposium 2018 on 22 March. We appreciate the contribution of the speakers and sponsors, especially the Association of Labuan Trust Companies, in bringing this event to you. Whilst registrations are now closed, we will bring a summary of deliberations at the conference, so look out for it.
As you can see, partnering with industry bodies/entities are a key element of what we do, as is working with a panel of specialists which serves as a sounding board for our strategy and activities, and in all honesty, a helpline in our time of need!
So, it gives me great pleasure to extend my sincerest congratulations to Ms Goh Ka Im, Partner at Shearn Delamore & Co., for having won the International Law Office 2018 Client Choice Award in Corporate Tax recently. Ka Im is a member of our Specialist Panel, and winning this award is indeed testament to her notable achievements. Bravo!
Last but not least, I would like to wish all ladies Happy International Women’s Day!
