HONG KONG: Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay started a cruise-ferry and gambling boat business in 1990s Hong Kong and turned it into one of Asia’s biggest cruise operators.
It was a labour of love, as well as a way to diversify the casino business set up by his father, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, in Malaysia. Under the now 70-year-old Kok Thay, Genting Hong Kong Ltd expanded its fleet of ships, bought other cruise lines and even added a string of German shipyards to build its vessels.
