Soft spot for the 3008
Let me tell you how Goh Kwong Thong, the sales and business development manager of Scholle Packaging, ended up with the Peugeot 3008, just three days after Chinese New Year. It was not the panoramic roof, a feature that attracts Goh’s two sons, aged five and four months. And Goh himself may admit that having [...]
Adoring Ixora
It would seem apt for Ixora Chern – actress, TV host and emcee – to drive a black Honda Civic 1.8. As the host for Seekers, which airs over NTV7 every Thursday at 9pm, it certainly matches the creepy theme of the show. But ask this 21-year-old, whose bubbly persona is a complete contrast to [...]

Lining the walls of his office from one end of the room to another, it’s impressive enough to act as a visual resume, like taking a walk down “auto show” memory lane. It will take a lifetime to go through [...]
The Queen of Traffic
PRISCILLA Patrick, the queen of traffic, is nothing like the tough biker lady she is decked out to be. “I’m a lover, not a fighter,” she drawls. And the Virago is a symbol of her free but determined spirit, the very quality that got her the plum assignment of being the nation’s guiding voice during [...]
