JOHOR BARU: Lee Li Ting was a chartered accountant in Singapore, but when her father died nine years ago, she gave up the job to home and continue his kuih business.

The 38-year-old said she decided to return home and become a kuih maker in 2014 as she did not want to see her family’s legacy gone with her father’s passing.
