Profile of Khoo Kheng-Hor
Khoo Kheng-Hor 'hung up his sword' in 1999 when he was 43 years old, to quit the corporate world for a carefree life in the mountain, with his wife, Judy, and Bandit (a Yorkshire terrier). There, he concentrates on his writing. He has published 27 business and management books (most of which are based on the 500 BC Sun Tzu's Art of War), two Christian books, and four novels, two of which, Taikor and Sifu, were nominated for the 2006 and 2011 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
After Judy was called home by the Lord in 2007, followed by Bandit in 2010, Khoo, being a sought-after speaker on Sun Tzu's Art of War in contemporary business and management at corporate in-house seminars and conferences, still travels some five to 10 days each month throughout the region to 'suntzunize' his audience.
As a consultant/trainer to the Singapore Police Force since 1995, he was conferred the rank of a honorary Assistant Superintendent of Police in 1997, and promoted to Deputy Superintendent in 2009
