Kee Hua Chee Live!: July 2015

Friday, July 31, 2015

MRCA (MALAYSIA RETAIL CHAIN ASSOCIATION) HELD ITS MUCH-ANTICIPATED 'CEO NIGHT' AT MANHATTAN GRAND BALLROOM AT TIMES SQUARE HOTEL ON 31 JULY 2015 BEFORE 500 GUESTS AND MEMBERS. THE BALLROOM WAS PACKED TO THE RAFTERS AS THE STAR OF THE NIGHT WAS MALAYSIA'S MOST SUCCESSFUL, TALKED-ABOUT AND PHILANTHROPIC TYCOON TAN SRI DATO SERI VINCENT TAN WHO WENT ON STAGE TO SPEAK FRO 50 MINUTES AND THEN ALLOWED QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE! IT WAS A SUPER RARE OCCASION AS HE VERY SELDOM GIVES LENGTHY TALKS AND AVOIDS INTERVIEWS BUT HE SPOKE CANDIDLY ABOUT HIS LIFE AND THE TWO MAJOR BREAKS HE GOT IN LIFE THAT ALLOWED HIM TO MAKE BILLIONS OF RINGGIT WHICH ALLOWED HIM TO DONATE AT LEAST 50% BACK TO SOCIETY!

TAN SRI DATO SERI VINCENT TAN IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S RICHEST MEN BUT HE IS REMARKABLY HUMBLE, EASY-GOING AND HAS A BRILLIANT SENSE OF HUMOUR!

HIS LONG SPEECH WAS PEPPERED WITH INTERESTING, FASCINATING AND OFTEN HUMOROUS ANECDOTES AND QUOTES THAT HAD EVERYONE SITTING AT THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT.

FOR ONCE, THE ENTIRE BALLROOM WAS SILENT AS GUESTS LISTENED INTENTLY TO A MAN WORTH RM 4 BILLION, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW HUNDRED MILLION AS I COULD NOT ASCERTAIN THE EXACT AMOUNT!

TAN SRI VINCENT TAN BECAME A TAN SRI AGED 38 WHICH IS STILL A RECORD FOR A CHINESE AND HE IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT MCDONALD'S INTO MALAYSIA SO WE HAVE TO THANK HIM OR ELSE WE WOULD STILL BE EATING BREAD AND BUTTER! HE ALSO INTRODUCED 7-ELEVEN AND AT ONE STAGE OWNED 72% OF DIGI AND CONTROLLED PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE. IF HE HAD NOT BEEN FORCED TO SELL THEM DURING THE ASIAN CRISIS, HE WOULD BE WORTH AROUND RM 20 BILLION TODAY! OR MORE!

TAN SRI VINCENT TAN IS THE 14th RICHEST MALAYSIAN AND THE WORLD'S 1,092 RICHEST! THIS IS ACCORDING TO FORBES WHO SHOULD KNOW. TAN SRI VINCENT TAN LOST A STAGGERING RM 1.6 BILLION WITHIN 12 MONTHS LAST YEAR AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, HIS BABY BROTHER TAN SRI DANNY TAN SURPASSED HIM IN WEALTH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2015! BUT THERE ARE VERY CLOSE AND THERE IS NO SIBLING RIVALRY AND TAN SRI DANNY TAN SAT OPPOSITE TAN SRI VINCENT TAN AT THE MAIN TABLE.

WHILE ANSWERING A QUESTION ON WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRE, HE SAID, "NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE EXCEPT A BILLIONAIRE MUST EAT LESS TO MAINTAIN HIS WEIGHT. I TELL MY CHILDREN THEIR CLOTHES AND SHOES COST MORE THAN MINE. THEIR WATCHES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MINE."

THEN HE SHOWED HIS WATCH AND SAID, "LILLIAN TOO GAVE ME HER FENG SHUI WATCH. SHE SELLS IT FOR AROUND RM 200 AND I HAVE BEEN WEARING IT FOR 6 R 7 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEM! I JUST NEEDED CHANGE BATTERY!"

SO FOR ALL HIS BILLIONS, THIS GUY IS HAPPY WITH A RM 200 FENG SHUI WATCH WHICH HE BELIEVES BRING HIM LUCK WHEN HE CAN BUY A RM 20 MILLION DIAMOND WATCH OR EVEN RM 200 MILLION TICKER!
