commerce, fintech and cloud based on its expertise in IT operation as well as its

'connect' connecting the values, time, space and generation all closely interconnected
surrounding the value of 'entertainment' as symbolized through the hyphen connecting

challenge, passion and fun while the 5 sub-colors are used to express liberal corporate
image of another level that also reflects various entertainments and services that the
