Ricky Ong

Ricky’s favourite quote is from Abraham Lincoln: “If I have nine hours to chop down a tree, I will spend the first six sharpening my axe.”

It reminds him that excellence can only be attained when you plan your work and then work your plan. That is why Ricky approaches every engineering challenge by first defining the problem clearly and making sure that the ‘tools’ that he will use to solve the problem are the right ones and they are sharp enough.

Ricky always encourages his colleagues to aim for the stars because anything that is worth doing is worth doing right and worth going big. He believes that the key to success is to never believe that perfection cannot be improved on.
