Public Bank is the largest non-government linked bank by assets and second in terms of market capitalisation. Teh founded the bank in August 1966 with the aim of building an organisation that could withstand the test of time. The 88-year-old patriarch says this National Day is a good time for Malaysians to reflect on the true meaning of unity.
As far as banking goes, Public Bank Bhd is in a class of its own. Few banking institutions in the region can boast a record of over five decades of unbroken profitability, even during all the financial crises.
The main mover in many of the bank’s achievements is undoubtedly its chairman Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow, no matter how much the patriarch directs the spotlight elsewhere.
