I like the fact that even though he is an extremely wealthy man, he is still steeped in tradition and never forgot his roots. There is a lot of character and meaning in the choice of materials and surfaces. Reflects a lot on him, his personality and character.

"When Savewell's owner got into financial problems and wanted to sell the store in 1985, Mr Lim's father took out $300,000 to buy the 1,400 sq ft Ang Mo Kio outlet." Sorry just parking here to remind myself rag to riches almost dont exist. Todays value of Money is almost 3 Million Their success is started out rich and well network the the leaders of this country.

Now it's my dream too to own a huge land one day, where my whole family/siblings can be neighbours and we can gather anytime we'd like to. For now, we live far from each other and visiting them is not that accessible.. I hope one day, I get to realise this dream too❤️.

Not true, some people I know personally who became rich through hard work (started poor) but now so arrogance and forgot their roots after their success. People are all different, not every rags-to-riches person will behave the same way.

He seems very sweet in that he hung up pork stone at his stores to make his customers happy. He told his architects and builders to make his house pretty, to give his neighbors something nice to look at, so that they don't hate him and curse him with complaints. He keeps an ancient tree, to reflect on getting along with his brothers harmoniously. Diplomatic and courteous.

Reason He got so successful is his Son married the prime minister Lee Hsien Leong daughter and hence got exclusive rights to open up in government housing estates.
