"To different people, wolf culture means different thing. And when we say wolf culture, you look at the strength of the wolf is the pack. The strength of the pack is the wolf. It's working together. And I think the wolf culture, the main thing is never give up, you strive. You will never say no. So you try hard to do that. People always strive to be successful and at the end of the day, we are not just here to sell. You have to bring true values to the customer. So the wolf culture from a positive note is that people are always on the move, willing to do it as a pack and we leverage one another. I think that's important." - Hong-Eng Koh
"Every country, every government knows they have to do something on digital transformation, but most of them tend to do it department-centric, which is not wrong. They are doing what they are good at, but in terms of the whole government perspective, because the citizens, the businessmen, or the visitors see the government as one, they don’t see you as different agencies. And we are not just talking about the people-centric services, we're also talking about consuming the infrastructure, and the budget of the country because if every department wants to build their own network, their own data center, their own cloud platform, it's going to cost a lot of money to the government." - Hong-Eng Koh
"In Huawei’s global public sector department, we are pushing the concept of digital transformation. A true digital transformation must be what we call one network, one cloud, one platform. When I say one network, it doesn't mean there’s only one network, because they are different networking technologies. It means it's a unified network that can be shared by different agencies.We take into consideration that different agencies may have different needs on cybersecurity data protection. One cloud, again doesn't mean one physical cloud. It could be a mix of clouds, but again, it's the unified way of doing things. And lastly, the platform is where we talk about data governance and all the AI tools." - Hong-Eng Koh
