INTERVIEW SAYAM SETHAPUTRA From the first time we met at a friend’s house on Foothill Avenue in Los Angeles, just a few blocks from
where police officers beat up Rodney King, the spark which ignited the 1992 riots, it was evident that Sayam Sethaputra had an aptitude for public relations. He’s always ready to welcome one with a warm smile and sufficient chit-chat to put strangers at their ease. Motoring bumped into Sayam again on a flight to the inaugural Sepang Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix when he was accompanied by his pretty bride-to-be, Kristina MacPherson. His forte has always been in the field of PR, whether it’s filming a men’s shirt commercial, his stint he did at the Thai-American Chamber of Commerce or his present gig at Bangkok Glass Plc. “There are 75 endorsed Merc clubs around the world with about 75,000 members in total. We [MBCT] are the only local club officially endorsed by Mercedes-Benz in Thailand and the parent company in Germany,” Sayam began.
