Our May issue, which is published on May 11, offers a tribute to all mums in conjunction with Mothers Day. In our cover story, Sherene Chew – founder of QSC Group of Companies – talks about striking a balance between business, family and self.

As a single mother of three, whose ages range from 16 to 25, Chew’s days are a constant dance between nurturing her family and leading her business empire.

The children also share their candid thoughts on their mum. In the story, Chew reveals her surprising choice of role model. She also acknowledges the hard truth that many women face: the impossibility of perfect balance between career and family.Yet, she sees the sacrifices she makes not as a burden but as a deliberate gift.
