FOUNDER of HSR International Realtors Patrick Liew is slated to hold the reins of the real estate agency once again from next month, with an ambitious goal of turning the loss-making agency around within three months.
Expected to resume the role of executive chairman at HSR, Mr Liew hopes to "re-engineer" the company and in the process, transform an industry that he believes is sorely in need of change.
