Today, Derek and I have a little toast at home to celebrate the achievement of our dental practice for receiving a SME Award from DHL SCMP Business Annual Award. Three years of continuous refinement and unfaltering belief that if we always put our patient first, all the good things shall follow.

I would like to share, Derek’s speech during the online award ceremony.

” On behalf of @centralsmilehk , we are truly honoured and grateful to the “HK Business Awards”, South China Morning Post and DHL for awarding us the SME Award for 2020. Thank you.

Central Smile was founded just over three years ago. I never could have imagined the opportunities and challenges we have faced over this short period.

Although the name Small and Medium Size Enterprises gives a notion of a “petite” industry. But in fact, SME’s account for almost 50% of total employment in HK. So collectively we are by no means “small”.

There have been obvious challenges for SME’s and government initiatives such as the “Employment Support Scheme” and “SME Loan Guarantee Scheme” have been instrumental in keeping many businesses afloat. We hope such schemes will continue to support local businesses as we overcome this pandemic together.

I am optimistic about our future. As a society, we have faced many challenges before; The Asian Financial Crisis, SARS, social unrest and now COVID. Hong Kongers have always been entrepreneurial, spirited and hard working. Qualities fit for battle hardened society to flourish. There are many opportunities on the horizon and we look forward to expansion possibilities locally and further afield in the Greater Bay Area.

Personally I would like to also take this opportunity to share my gratitude and recognise the people that have been instrumental. Namely my wife @rosannewng, my parents Vivian and Richard Baram, the management team and all team members at Central Smile. Without your help, Central Smile would not be what it is today.

We don’t take this award for granted. It will spur us on. We hope to continue to develop into something we and our society can be proud of.”

The lions are back. ⁣
⁣
Stephen and Stitt are not just ordinary bronze lions, the 85-year old lions still bear injuries from the Second World War and the social unrest in 2020.⁣
⁣
The lions have guarded the entrance of HSBC headquarters in Central since 1935. ⁣
⁣
During the Second World War, the two lions were sent to Japan to be melted down, but were saved at the sudden end of war. An American sailor recognised the lions in a dockyard in Osaka in 1945 and the lions were rescued and restored to their original positions in October 1946. Bullet holes can still be found on Stephen’s left flank. (𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝟺)⁣
⁣
During the protest on New Year’s Day in 2020, the lions were sprayed with red paint and set on fire. They were removed from public view for restoration since then for the third time in their history. ⁣
⁣
The lions are back on public view after first phase of restoration works. Welcome back. Many visit the lions today, taking photos and touching his head and paws.⁣
⁣
Full restoration can be done only when British experts can fly to Hong Kong.⁣

Stephen, the growling lion, was named after Alexander Gordon Stephen, the Chief Manager of HSBC in 1923, and Stitt, the quiescent one, was named after Gordon Holmes Stitt, formerly Manager Shanghai. ⁣

HK Startups Meet Multinational Companies Series – Session 4: Knowledge

(Google Translated)
全球COVID-19大流行改變了全世界業務運作，工作和創造價值的方式。例如，在過去的幾個月中，我們所有人都已成為Zoom＆Microsoft Teams專家！儘管世界其他地區都希望在大流行之後重新開放經濟，但香港也期待從數月的社會動盪中恢復過來。香港將如何在新的常態下數字化，優化和製定戰略，以恢復經濟增長和領導地位？這一新常態為香港提供了一個巨大的機會，可以推動其向數字經濟過渡，並建立一個充滿活力的創新生態系統，將企業，初創企業和資本聯繫起來。

“HK Startups Meet Multinational Companies Series ”是一系列會議，展示靈感，將初創企業與企業聯繫起來，並在香港建立成功，可持續的創新社區。

加入我們，參加8月28日舉行的第四屆會議：知識。
通過創新的教學方法，技術進步以及為虛擬世界設計的程序，正在為學生和教師重塑教育。那麼，初創企業如何支持持續的趨勢呢？在接下來的18個月中，許多人預計，隨著COVID繼續限制和挑戰傳統學習，面對面和虛擬的平衡將會出現。在香港的複興之路上，遇到了一些新興企業，這些企業將有助於保持健康的平衡，創造我們從未想到的新機遇，並成為教育部門不可或缺的一部分。

The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we do business, work, and create value all around the world. For example, in the past several months, we have all become Zoom & Microsoft Teams experts! While the rest of the world looks forward to re-opening economies after the pandemic, Hong Kong is also looking forward to recovering from months of social unrest. How will Hong Kong digitize, optimize, and strategize in a new normal, returning to economic growth and leadership? This new normal is a huge opportunity for Hong Kong to drive its transition to a digital economy and create a buoyant innovation ecosystem, linking corporates, start-ups and capital.

"HK Startups Meet Multinational Companies Series" is an ongoing series of meetings, showcasing Inspiration, connecting start-ups with corporates, and building a successful, sustainable innovation community in Hong Kong.

Join us on August 28 for the fourth session: Knowledge. Education is being reshaped for students and teachers alike through new, innovative teaching methods, advancements in technology, and programs designed for a virtual world. So how can start-ups support the continued trend? For the next 18 months many predict there will be a balance of in-person and virtual as COVID continues to limit and challenge traditional learning. In Hong Kong's road to recovery meet some of the start-ups that will help strike a healthy balance, create new opportunities we have not thought of and be integral to the education sector.
