Even on first impressions, you can instantly tell that hard work runs in the veins of 62-year-old Tan Jau Wey. Despite having passed the mantle of running his 31-year-old Chinese seafood restaurant Green View in Petaling Jaya to his son Tan Jay Wvin, 33, Jau Wey still pops in frequently to check that business is running smoothly.
“I live just behind the restaurant and honestly I am not that old too. I want to know whether the restaurant is running well and I also want to check on the staff. I have been in the business for many years so I know that when the big cat is here, everyone is a bit scared lah,” he says, laughing.
