Professionals share their experience of relocation
Kenneth Chan Hoi-kwan is a regional advertising sales director with the Hallmark Channel in Singapore. His career in media marketing started in Hong Kong, where he was born and attended primary school.
After completing his secondary education in Britain, followed by a business and finance diploma at Guildford College and a degree in business administration at the University of South Australia, he returned to Hong Kong in 1991.
He landed a job in marketing with the Discovery Channel, where he worked for five years before being transferred to Singapore in August 1996.
Career opportunities in Singapore beckoned and he moved to CNBC in 2005, then to the Hallmark Channel last year.
Although working for the same company when he moved to Singapore, Mr Chan noticed a number of differences in the working culture of the city state compared to Hong Kong.
