honestly i dont think they are worth that much. if you are drawing S$1million per month for 50 years, that will only gives you US$363million, assuming no other income investment and endorsing PAP white shirt and pants. -

oh u mean listed companies ar...sorry sorry..... tot wat la... so tat division handling in wat??Originally posted by Gazelle:hong leong holding -
Main activities is in property, and they also have other business such as Yamaha motor cycle, and golf course buggy..Originally posted by mhcampboy:oh u mean listed companies ar...sorry sorry..... tot wat la... so tat division handling in wat??
One thing that many people dont know is that this privately held company has a much bigger sales turnover as compare the listed division like HLA, HLF and CDL. And that is where most of Kwek's wealth is held. Believe they have quite a substantial land bank in there.

The government was right to say that they could have earned billions in the private sector. -
i think kwek leng beng's brother is also a billionaire, but in malaysia.Originally posted by Gazelle:hong leong holding -
Its an investment holding company. Just a shell used to store whatever assets they want. Sort of like a personal private collection. Not meant for the public..Originally posted by mhcampboy:oh u mean listed companies ar...sorry sorry..... tot wat la... so tat division handling in wat?? -
Its cousin. His name is Quek Leng Chuan. I think he owns Guocoland Group. His company share price is a far cry from CDL share price.Originally posted by dragg:i think kwek leng beng's brother is also a billionaire, but in malaysia.
