Introduction
DCSSB was built by 3 friends who went to the same local university back in the 1990’s. All of them spent few years as engineer and accountant to gain some experience in the working environment before they decide to quit their job and form DCSSB. This is something that they had planned since they were still university students. Their main reason to set up their own company is to take advantage of the growing economies of the region and considering only limited number of ‘bumiputeras’ venturing into these business in the country. These 3 friends have always been sharpening their entrepreneurial skills since their university days by joining many extra-curricular activities which involve dealing with business set-up. They seems be well prepared for the challenges they will face ahead without any support or guidance from any organisation.
