Young Kwek Leng Beng "hardly spent money", lived in a shabby apartment and often cooked, because it was cheaper. His fellow students in London had no idea he came from a wealthy family. To what extent did being born into wealth, help lay the ground for his later business success? How did his relationship with a controlling father - who had a view on how Mr Kwek crossed his T's on cheques, and set a bedtime of 9 pm when his son was grown enough to date - mold his personality and attitude towards business-building?
Michelle Martin finds out in this conversation with bestselling author and biographer of "Strictly Business - the Kwek Leng Beng Story", Peh Shing Huei.
