All this while.. I havent really been so excited bout current issue till this news came up.. i've been looking thru the news about the progress and all.. and most importantly bout his history.. omg.. u guys shud really check out *planning to buy his 'My Story' book.. Im really so into and admirer about Uncle Lim who could really see the future.. who could build Genting.. such a great place.. all by himself.. He developed Genting Highlands single-handedly.
-----
And actually b4 that with the year of 19th of his life.. from China’s Fujian Province.. came over to malaya.. with just $2 if im not mistaken.. then worked in many fields.. with his uncle.. then construction.. and he found his on way on iron mining and earned him millions thruout a year.. when ppl said that he is crazy with that idea in the 1st place.. when he saw Cameron Highland and start thinking bout this genting 'crazy plan'.. omg.. and he really did it in a place.. Gunung Ulu Kali.. was later built into the Genting Highlangs we have now.. Anyway.. Is really a great guy.. a person who is not really good in his BM and English but is respected by many.. *Really funny about a news bout him speaking BM to our current PM about the tax 1*
*I will surely pay a visit to Genting if i were to be in KL.. Can go see see GohTong Villa..
The founder and honorary life president of Genting Group
Genting Highlands
"Former MCA president Tan Koon Swan worked for Lim during the 1970s, some of which he fondly recalled as “quite hilarious.”
Tan who was hired as a general manager found Lim to be everything he was said to be – farsighted, energetic and capable.
“He was also a keen learner who wanted to know everything in depth and detail whether it was law, architecture or engineering. He would tell the professionals what he wanted and the way he wanted it.”
When the architect designing the first hotel in Genting returned to the site after a long holiday, he ex-claimed: “My God! I cannot recognise my baby anymore!"
"Lim spoke mainly Chinese dialects and Mandarin and a passable Malay and English. Up to his nineties, close aides still remember him using language tapes to brush up on his English.
But it obviously did not hinder his relations with the powerful and famous for Ong recalled Lim saying to Abdullah in colloquial Malay: “PM mau tolong sama gua, kita orang kerja kuat, kerja manyak susah, bukan senang untung manyak, tolong kurang cukai” (PM you have to help us, we work hard, it’s tough work, not easy to make money, please lower taxes).
