A dose of good medicine

Enterprising: Loh wants to encourage pharmacists to be more entrepreneurial.

FROM a childhood spent in a small village in Pontian, Johor to eventually starting his own business, Steve Loh Leong Huat remembers vividly the days when everything seemed to work against him.

“Growing up in a house without running water or regular electricity supply, most of my spare time during those days were spent helping out at my parents’ fruit stall. We work basically every day, even during Chinese New Year. When other kids were busy celebrating, I would follow my father into the jungle to collect durian to sell,” says Loh.
