Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong

Today ( 23/10/07) at 11.20 am
90 year old Genting founder, passed away at Subang Jaya Medical Centre.
I got home and as usual I'd check out lowyat.net and then I saw it, a topic "Lim Goh Tong passed away"
and I though it was a joke or something that's really mean but when I clicked into the topic and the link to thestar.com.my was provided, I immediately realised that one of Malaysia's pride and joy and not to mention 1 of the richest in Malaysia has passed away.
Please note that what I'm gonna say is not a racist remark but I seriously looked up onto him for being a chinaman (literally) that transformed into a world class figure and being a chinese myself... I was really proud to know one of a chinese that was and is a very successful person. I'd recommend reading his autobiography "My Story - Lim Goh Tong" which was published in 2004. In the book he wrote about his early life, how he started off with nothing to building a world-class casino resort through hard work and perseverance confounding skeptics, and the people he acknowledges. The late Tan Sri's book can be an inspiration to many like myself.
He left behind his wife, 6 children and 19 grandchildren...

I am just so shocked that he left because he had a grand birthday celebration in April and now......

Shock

May I call for a moment of silence for the late Tan Sri and his family...

God Bless his wife, children and children's children
