An interview with the head of Malaysian operations of the Kuok Group.
LiKE most top officials in the Kuok Group, Chye Kuok Khoon Ho, who heads
the Group's Malaysian operations, keeps a low profile. Thus, when we
requested for an interview with him, we were quite expecting to be turned
down.
So it was a pleasant surprise when the busy 53-year-old Chye, who is
chairman of Kuok Brothers Sdn Bhd, agreed to meet us. However, the low-
profile person that he is, he declined to be photographed.
Chye is the son of the late Philip Kuok, the brother of Kuok Group
chieftain Robert Kuok. Graduating with a bachelor's degree in Commerce
from McGill University in Canada, he began his career with the Kuok Group
in 1976. He has extensive international experience in hotel management,
property development and corporate management.
His previous attachments have been with Kuok's Hong Kong flagship Kerry
Holding Ltd and its companies like SCMP Group Ltd that publishes the
influential South China Morning Post daily, and Shangri-La Asia Ltd in
Hong Kong and Edsa Properties Holdings Inc in the Philippines.
