wow

 

last time sgp also have large-scale sawmills in the woodland-kranji area, not the small scale factories today.

 

most of these towkays either have their offices at boat quay or tanjong pagar fairfield methodist area.

 

unfortunately, the mantra of wealth cannot last past 3g rings true for most of these towkays and most of their wealth dissipated by the 3g in the late 1990s.

 

a few r fortunate to drag on till today but their glory has passed, never to return.

 

thats why u hardly heard of timber tycoons being mentioned in the singapore business history.

their 3g and beyond r mostly in obscurity liao.

 

but still have a few still struggling in the timber business, mostly as agents or retailing finished wooden product.

 

even fewer managed to diversify operations in order to survive.

actually many of them bot alot of land in sgp, but thru familial infighting and incompetent wealth management, they ended up splitting the family assets or lost thru bad investments.

 

best is follow this sakti uncle and set up bank.
