After graduating from Johor Bahru English College and Raffles College in the late 1940s, I worked as an assistant in my father's company and founded Kwok Brothers Co., Ltd. on 1949. After more than 30 years' efforts, his Guo Group has penetrated all over the world: in addition to many enterprises in his own country, his main business scope is Singapore, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Fiji and Australia. His business is also extremely diversified, from sugarcane planting, sugar refining, flour, feed, oil and minerals to finance, hotels, industry, planting, commerce and shipping. With assets of US$ 654.38 billion, he is one of the richest people in Malaysia.
