Thank you all for your very kind words.

I will miss working with everyone but take comfort from the knowledge that amazing work will continue to emerge from the AP region.

Dear Kuek,

I am very sorry to hear you are leaving, but I am sure that this is for the better future:) I would like to thank you very much for giving a birth to APRALO - APAC HUB partnership and initiating a lot of interesting projects together. APRALO became an example of the great collaboration with GSE team due to your efforts and your continuous support. You put high standards for the person who will take your role, and we are looking forward working with your team in 2016.

I wish you all the best in the new start and hope we can still meet somewhere in the world!

Best regards

Siranush

Most importantly, Jia-Rong who is a key member of the APAC Hub, is more than capable of succeeding me in my duties. I have every confidence that he will be able to work closely with you, and to take the APAC Hub to the next level. Of course, Kelvin will continue the incredible work we have done as part of the collaborative framework.
