Lim Goh Tong was renowned for his vision in transforming Genting Highlands from an unexplored hilltop to one of the world’s most successful casino resorts. The fifth child in a family of seven children, Lim migrated from China’s Fujian province in 1937 at the age of 19 with only a small suitcase and US$175.
I really salute him for his effort and his idea of Geting Highlands. If without him, I think Malaysia is not as well know as now and we can’t enjoy ourselves in Geting for holidays.
Hope his son will continue his footsteps.
