Five added to Malaysia rich list


Forbes said nonagenarian business legend Robert Kuok, with a net worth of US$11.5bil, remains at No. 1, a position he has held for over two decades.

PETALING JAYA: This year’s Forbes Malaysia Rich List saw five newcomers entering the line-up, the richest of whom are a pair of inheritors.

Debuting at No 6 are brothers Datuk Lee Yeow Chor and Lee Yeow Seng, who share a combined RM20bil legacy left by their father Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng, the architect of the IOI palm oil and property empire who passed away last June.
