KIONG Hee Huat Tsai! Welcome to our first issue in the Year of the Metal Rabbit! We hit the ground running when January rolled around. Most of what keeps us busy are related to the Lopez Credo, which is front and center among our many initiatives this year.In his State of the Union message last month, US President Obama expressed his view that the challenge the American people face can be described as this generation’s Sputnik moment. He made reference to that time in American history when they were playing catch-up to the Russians in the space age. America’s response, he said, is to unleash a wave of innovation that created new industries and millions of new jobs. We in the Lopez Group are also facing our Sputnik moment. We have just gone through a decade of crisis and now we are ready to move ahead with no less than chairman emeritus Oscar M. Lopez (OML) leading the way.
