Richest Malay in the town..check it out !!

Do you know who are those among the richest malay in Malaysia. Now i am gonna tell you. Kindly refer to the list hereunder. These lucky persons are included into the special selection of Malaysia's 40 richest, which is compiled by Forbes recently. The figures in bracket ( ) implify their position in the top 40 list and the values of their assets tell us in US Dollar. But anyway as the moment i checked the exchange rate is $1 USD = RM 3.5. So you just sum up the figure and then it will apparently comes to your head of how much these people keep in their ample coffer.

However to me, the list is quite arguementable as some of those who are openly well known as the multi billionaires are not into the list. I really curious and doubt on what basis did Forbes regulate the research as far as i've known the richest self-made malay is not Syed Mokhtar Albukhary. Perhaps i'm wrong but this time..boy i damn really confident about this. If you want to know who's the man i regard the richest malay in the country...then scroll down till the end of this entry and you'll find the answer.

So what this list means to me? Well i rather consider it as "The self-confessed richest Malays". You and me should always believe that there are more richest malays out there in the country who'd never publicized their wealth..and most of them probably are having strong linkage and connection with the country's political powers.

The list end here.

And this is the man who since the old days until now, i believe the bloody richest self made malay in Malaysia.
I really mean it..he is the man. Currently the former finance minister (he holded the position twice; 1st in late 80's and 2nd time in 90's) owns the investment bank in Africa region. It was said that he was the first Malay who succesfully ventured into the property development at the period when the industry was monopolized by only one race. The first project which was a token of his victory is Taman Maluri in KL. Since then, Tun Daim bacame among the big player as the property developer around Klang Valley. He was a major share holder of UEP, which is currently known as Sime-UEP which develop the town of Subang Jaya.

Graduated from the prestigous Lincoln's Inn as a lawyer, Tun Daim was already a multi millionaire prior to become a minister in government. He ventured into many business opportunities and owned big sums of stakes in several banking. Perhaps during his tenure in goverment, he could catapult his wealth up to what it is nowadays...hehe well i don't know..i just guess. However there were also some buzz that he was a man behind the scene of many big corporations and Tan Sri Halim Saad (ex-Renong), Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli (ex-MAS & TRI-Celcom), Tan Sri Shamsuddin (Sapura) and several more were his proxies.

Well to know more of Tun Daim stories and his successful profiles
