Having experienced both struggles and triumphs, entrepreneur Mr. Kevin Liang established an award to recognize students embarking on their own journeys of perseverance and achievement.
Mr. Liang, with over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience, is well-versed in navigating challenges.
He began his journey into entrepreneurship after his last job was disrupted by company restructuring. He left the company, and with just a small amount of savings, decided to chart his own course.
He started his own business, EPS Computer Systems Pte Ltd, which has since grown into a regional firm.
The initial years, however, were challenging. He juggled cash flow, finding the right talent and developing effective business models.
Mr Liang: I love discovering new experiences abroad and have had the privilege of witnessing iconic landmarks such as the Northern Lights, the Blue Lagoon, the Pyramids, the Great Wall, the Colosseum and more. As a company, we also travel for team-bonding. Together, we’ve visited incredible destinations like Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam, to name a few.
“Travelling for team bonding is one of the ways the company integrates play and work.”
The EPS Computer Systems Award is presented to the top three graduating full-time students from the Bachelor of Science in Information and Communication Technology program. The award is made possible by EPS Computer Systems Pte Ltd.
“Entrepreneurship is full of ups and downs,” Mr. Liang shares. “Obstacles will come, but a rainbow awaits those who pursue this path with passion, diligence, creativity, perseverance and leadership.”
His belief in these values inspired the creation of the EPS Computer Systems Award, which honours the top graduating students from the Bachelor of Science in Information and Communication Technology program each year.
For Mr. Liang, entrepreneurship and learning are similar in that both are long-term pursuits. “They’re not 100-metre sprints; they’re more like marathons,” he says. “A positive mindset is crucial, especially when there are highs and lows. Learn from mistakes but don’t dwell on them.”
He also encourages graduating students to become global citizens: “Singapore is a small country, so venture beyond these shores and broaden your perspective. The world is your oyster!”
