Kok Khoon shared that he has seen many improvements throughout his years in SMRT, such as paper quotation forms being replaced by a computerised system that streamlines the process between external vendors and his team. He added that having to work with external surveyors and his colleagues in SMRT has allowed him to gain many fruitful experiences.
