For the love of mother and brother

Robert Kuok

AT last, at the age of 94, the venerated Robert Kuok, Malaysia’s richest tycoon, tells his life story and what a wonderfully written memoir it is: full of exciting insights on how he built his conglomerate from scratch and his dealings with businessmen, government leaders and other colourful characters.

But to me, the memoir is most gripping when he writes from the heart on very personal matters. Even more riveting is finding out who and what shaped him into the man he is.
