But this legendary Overseas Chinese entrepreneur  commodities trader who made his first milion on the London sugar market  hotelier of the Shangri-la chain  and property mogul has maintained a low profile and seldom shed light in public on his business empire or personal life. That is  until now. In these memoirs  the 94-year-old Kuok tells the remarkable story of how  starting in British Colonial Malaya  he built a multi-industry  multinational business group. In reflecting back on 75 years of conducting business  he offers management insights  discusses strategies and lessons learned  and relates his principles  philosophy  and moral code. Kuok has lived through fascinating and often tumultuous times in Asia  from British colonialism to Japanese military occupation to post-colonial Southeast Asia and the dramatic rise of Asian economies  including  more recently  China. From his front-row seat and as an active participant  this keen  multi-cultural observer tells nearly a century of Asian history through his life and times. Readers interested in business  management  history  politics  culture and sociology will all enjoy Robert Kuoks unique and remarkable story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495998578741,"sku":"ByrdShop_9814189731","price":28.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9789814189736.jpg?v=1780905857","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/robert-kuok-a-memoir-9789814189736","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
