CA Talentime

Loud and proud we welcome and introduce our Junior Partner, Calvin Ng, being the first pure breed CA’tizen and the No. 1 Padawan to Chris into Chur Associates. Calvin has proved himself to be of CA pedigree, and his recognition as a partner is well deserved. His passion and desire to keep learning has certainly paid off!

Congratulations and Welcome Calvin, the Partner!

In words of Calvin;

Calvin Ng“I am highly exultant to express myself on the deliverance of my admission as Junior Partner to Chur Associates. I would like to express my personal gratitude to Mr Chris Tan for all his guidance as my Master from the very first day of my pupilage till now. Your direction and advice have been extremely beneficial to me. You have helped me to build upon my professional strengths, and to increase my efficiency in weaker areas. Not forgetting, all the Partners of the firm for giving me ample opportunities to grow together with this esteem firm, thank you. Your support and direction has always been a source of guidance towards my destination path, I will always remember.

Finally to all my fellow CA’tizens, thank you for trusting on my capabilities and your earnest support have been significant factors in my development. I promise to fulfill my new responsibilities effectively and do my very best to surpass your expectations of me.

I trust that being the Partner of the Knowledge Division and work closely with my colleagues for the development of legal knowledge, each and every one of us in the firm will be able to deliver better legal services in a more effective way.”

In October, CA’tizens shared an article on “Making Excuses” by author, John G. Miller (Outstanding! 47 ways to make your organisation exceptional). CA’tizens expanded on the concept of “Personal Accountability” and learnt that when a problem arises we do not take it literally as the word describes “personal” neither do we defend the position in hand. Instead, we act upon proactively and find a solution. CA’tizens also understood that “accountability” has to do with one’s exercising his own will in making decisions and following through the course of conduct. In CA, we never take it personally but we make it personal.
