It was around this time last year when I had the privilege of hearing Dato’ Mary Lim Thiam Suan, President of AIAC, speak.
Interestingly, our paths crossed again today, and I had the opportunity to hear her insightful remarks once more.
Looking back, the photo from last year brings back fond memories. It was widely circulated across social and news media as part of the Law Society of Hong Kong delegation to Malaysia, the largest delegation ever organised by the society. During that visit, we were honoured to have a session with Dato’ Mary Lim Thiam Suan at the AIAC.
The second photo was taken today and features Dato’ Mary Lim Thiam Suan (AIAC), Joanne Lau (HKIAC), Gloria Lim (SIAC), Nicky Balani (THAC), as well as colleagues and fellow participants from the THAC training programme I attended two weeks ago.
Meeting someone again is one thing, but crossing paths with the same person almost a year later, around the very same time, is a coincidence that makes you pause and reflect. It’s a reminder that our professional journeys can unexpectedly come full circle.
It is always inspiring to reconnect with leading figures in the dispute resolution and arbitration community and reflect on how opportunities for learning, professional growth, and meaningful connections continue to come full circle.
