Visit to Yakult Factory

I promised to take my two Math classes to Yakult Factory if they met their targets in their Prelim exams. I'm proud to say many of them did well, but surely, some had to work much harder. So, Mr Fernando, his wife and Mrs Claire Yeoh helped me with the factory visit. I'm sure they enjoyed the trip as much as I did.

When we reached Yakult Factory at Senoko Drive, Ms Chin, the Public Relations Officer, came to welcome us. She introduced us to her manager, Mr Quek. (He's not Mr Quek by the way..hehe)

Mr Quek has worked for Yakult for the past 27 years. Wow! I had not expected such a great speech to motivate the students prior to their PSLE. Mr Quek was punctuating his speech with hilarious jokes and annecdotes which made the students roar with laughter. He gave excellent real-life examples of the importance of education and shared the history of Yakult with the pupils . For example, in 1930, Dr. Minoru Shirota succeeded in culturing and utilizing lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota).

Have you heard of Yakult cosmetics? I was certainly impressed with the range of Yakult's products.
