MCD Committee Member / Jimmy Low

What else can I say when I was “roped” in to be a committee member on my first day of MCD membership, but Wilkommen! I have been in Germany for 1 year plus but a newbie in Frankfurt (June 2011). I was born, bred and lived in Kuala Lumpur for 35 years before I decided to pursue my MBA in Berlin in 2010. I got an offer to work for the Deutsche Bahn (ask me how I got it when you see me) and decided that I would move the family here. We want a new adventure and here is to our new beginning. Before coming to Germany, I was in the telecommunication industry for 13 years; a significant part with Maxis Mobile. I love to explore and experience new things especially food. So, if you see me with my camera, let me take pictures first. I also love trains – real-life and models. Hence, one of the reasons why I chose die Bahn. It’s a childhood dream job came true. If we are on the same track, we could share more about railways adventures. If you are not yet part of MCD community, join our extended family and enjoy the Malaysian Hospitality.
