In the month of August, there are couples of anniversary of independence days that I/we celebrate:
1) On 17 Aug 1997, I opted to set my career ship on rather than we (me and my wife Ismail) embark on entrepreneurial journey
2) Yearly on 9 August, I prefer to express "Majulah Singapura" rather than any other "Onward" annual National Day Parade taglines.
3) Synchronicity happened on 17 Aug as we celebrate my independence and (Independence Day) Indonesia . . . acknowledging the Spirit of Independence displayed by our Javanese Grandparents and other Heroes in the opening up of Temasek (Singapura's Original).
3) 31 Aug, our 3 daughters celebrate Malaysia's Merdeka (Independence) during their Secondary Schooling (after their Primary School Leaving Examination in Sg) till our first daughter Imanina became Law Graduate from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa .
As we move forward from these Independence Days, I will unfold lessons learned by looking within the silver lining to identify it's positive impacts for Greater Collective Good: Silver Lining, Positive Impacts.
