I’m A Community Leader Determined Individual Leader Food Enthusiast

Hello there!

My name is Ricmond Kong.

I am a self-motivated individual that has constantly been seeking for improvement. I throw challenges to myself so that I can explore the limitless possibilities.

My interests are strongly aligned with Photography, Videography, and Food-Hunting. I am an amateur Photographer and Videographer with more than 10 years’ worth of experience. I have been looking for the most delectable and sumptuous food items for a little over 24 years now.

There is no end to a person’s growth and I will continue harnessing the same energy that has brought me this far. After all, opportunities are earned, not given. In all of my workplaces, I have strived to make a positive impact so that I will leave the workplace feeling a sense of achievement and satisfaction. I worked tirelessly to streamline work processes so that tedious tasks can be completed with ease. The end result, of course, is something that only the naked eye can second.

“Non ducor duco” is a phrase that I live by. It refers to my identity as an ambitious and budding leader that have been seeded since I was young. The joy from leading others is a privilege that I will never take granted for. One organisation after another has entrusted me with the vested powers of a leader to make decisions and steer the direction of the committees. This is a testament to the leadership capabilities that I possess.

I firmly believe in taking joy in whatever one does and staying committed one’s tasks and responsibilities.
