Wee honours legacy of self-made billionaire


PETALING JAYA: Business tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan’s contributions will forever be remembered, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

“His contributions and services during his lifetime to society and the nation’s development were immense and will surely be remembered forever.

“His passing is also a great loss, particularly for the corporate and economic sectors. May his soul rest in peace,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday, hours after Ananda passed away at the age of 86.

Estimated to be worth US$5.8bil (RM25.7bil), Ananda Krishnan often made it to the annual Forbes’ list of wealthiest people, being ranked as the third richest person in Malaysia.
