A celebratory dinner was held by Ban Hoe Seng (Auto) Sdn Bhd, now a subsidiary of Bonanza Venture Holdings Sdn Bhd (BVH), to honour the even bigger team of one of Malaysia’s oldest Honda dealers.
“This is a chance to bring everybody together from Ban Hoe Seng (Auto) to meet with other members of the Bonanza group. We hope we can build on the legacy that the Chews have left us,” Dato’ Lim Si Boon, the chairman of BVH said. Also present was Ignatius Chew, Ban Hoe Seng founder’s grandson who remains as the director to integrate the old team with the new.
Attended by over 130, the lively affair was held on Friday, April 21 featuring a buffet dinner crafted by the Dome Restaurant of Meru Valley Resort.
One of the highlights of the dinner was the staff achievement award in which eight team members of the 60-year-old dealership were recognised by Honda for their dedication in the following categories: Sales Manager Top Achiever Challenge (Annie Ho), Sales Advisor Top Achiever Challenge (Fiona Chen, Chee Ping Yoong, Andrew John a/l Anthonisamy, Ng Yen Phin) and Technician Top Achiever Challenge (Yeap Kar Guan, Chandran Subramaniam, Chong Ping Loon).
Party mood at its peak, staff bonded over classics by the Riverwalk Buskers, soulful vocals of 28-year-old Jamie and the wit of the master of ceremonies, K.T. Pillai. Paired with heartwarming hospitality, tantalising nosh from the Dome such as roasted Australian beef, prawn mee and assorted mousse became instant favourites. Did I mention the free flow of wine, cocktail and mocktail too?
Culminating in two lucky draws, ecstatic winners brought home Honda merchandise, Jusco vouchers and Calvin Klein perfumes with the grand prizes being a Samsung Soundbar and a Huawei P10 Lite phone.
Thus, the night ended with plenty of cheers and precious memories.
