“I have been in DBS for 44 years, since 1977. At home, I’m a grandma to an adorable 3-year-old and mum to 3 daughters — Vanya, Velda and Viola. My youngest daughter is working at Singapore Airlines and the older two have their own fashion labels. Velda is the founder of Collate and Our Second Nature and Viola is the co-founder of Love, Bonito.
Seeing how I was juggling work and family... I think it led my children to be more sensible with their finances. Even in their teenage years, they gave tuition, piano lessons and later on, started an online clothing store, Bonito Chicco [now Love, Bonito], to earn some extra pocket money and contribute to the household expenses.
Even though I had to work and care for the family at the same time, I love my work at DBS and I was very blessed my children understood that my job was important to me.
The road to juggling work and kids has not been an easy one but it’s definitely a rewarding one.”
