OfficeNet Annoucement
My employer announced today thru' OfficeNet my resignation effective 1 Mar 06.
So what will I be doing after 1 Mar 06?
As of today I really haven't got anything firmed up. There was a suggestion I open a café in sleepy Penang. Some ex-colleagues suggested I join them in starting a consulting practice. Apparently there is a big demand in Europe and US on how to handle birdflu and given my experiences in dealing with SARS, and more recently preparing for birdflu and protection against terrorist attacks, I look very qualified to advise them in this area.
One thing for sure, I am not ready to retire yet. My interests are in risk, technology and payment systems areas. It would be really nice to be able to work for IMF or World bank in some of their technical assistance scheme in these areas.
I will be thinking thru all the possibilities and if you have other ideas, I will be most happy to hear them.
