Big Man, Low Key

Recently whilst I was in Kuching for a Pustaka Sarawak event, I got to know a little about this man of few words but great achievement: YBhg Tan Sri Amar Hj Hamid Bugo.

We gotten into talking whilst I was at his home for dinner and subsequently at the event and later at the airport lounge.

I must admit, I was impressed with his demeanour and his sharp mind.

Tan Sri, I understand was an entrepreneur before he became a government servant. Tan Sri was the State Secretary of Sarawak. A Powerful position.

He is now the Chairman of the Pustaka and also many Corporate organizations.

Whats striking about him is, he is soft spoken, humble and hardly speaks of himself - at least from my observation during the 3 days we were together.

We don't see many people like this these days - self evasive but hugely successful.

Tan Sri is also an avid reader.
