"Today, we want to encourage you that going back to school - or should I say going BIC to school - and working as hard as you can will pay off. You have so much to learn, but that's a good thing! It means that you have a chance to work towards your future, starting with what you write on your workbooks using your BIC stationery that you can find under your seats." said by Mr. Frederic Dumon, Deputy General Manager of BIC Product (Asia) Pte Ltd.
