OUR MISSION
Born in the 1960s, founder of Aleoca Pro Singapore Pte Ltd, Mr Alan Goh’s childhood was fraught with poverty and hardship.
“Back in those days, a bowl of noodles was $0.05, and a bottle of soft drinks we call “holland water” in Hokkien comes with a candy at $0.05. Growing up, everybody played by the roads together. We would all gather around the taokay’s house to watch their black and white television, and ride on their delivery bicycles.”
Like every other kid, owning a bicycle was a dream. Mr Goh, then 10 years old, made a deal with his father that if he did well in the coming examinations, he will receive a bicycle. He worked hard, and it indeed paid off. With the examination papers returned with results written in black ink this time, he proudly went to his father. The proud father smiled and gave a pat on his son’s head.
“If we start saving this month, we should be able to get him a bicycle in 3 months time!“
—
Whether or not Mr Goh eventually got his bicycle remains a mystery, as each time he recalls the story, it ends as it is above.
“Back in those days, my father needed to save up for 3 months to buy a bicycle. I want to change this. I want to make all parents be able to afford a bicycle for their children. I want to make quality and affordable bicycles for people of all income level, for them to be able to fulfill what their children want. Isn’t that what parents do?
Therefore, comes the mission statement of the company;
To build quality and affordable bicycles for all type of cyclist.
