Beyond the superb quality of Ah Kew's research, his command of the Hokkien language is among the best that I have heard on record so far. He speaks very fluent "North Malaysian Hokkien" (which covers from Kedah/Perlis, to Penang, and all the way down to his native Taiping). Observe the terminologies that he uses, and how he effortlessly reads the Chinese texts on the epitaths in Hokkien without even a pause - go try finding even twenty Penangites off-the-street who can do that today. I would venture to say that 99% of today's so-called "Penang Hokkien" speakers today do not even come close to his level. Penangites should learn from him, if the "Penang Hokkien" that they are so proud of, but is now at Death's door, is to survive anything beyond the next two decades. THIS is the standard of Hokkien that Penang should aspire to!
Olivia Lum deserves better Retirement Plan for painstakingly build~up Hyflux in Singapore! Olivia Lum received ill~adviced in Hedgefund in Petroleum , which was not her expertise , loosing tremendous amount of hard earned Reserves that Hyflux can't even pay divideds to her investors! Olivia Lum should concentrate on her Hyflux Water Filtration Industry! Wishing Good Health & Stability in life to Olivia Lum! 🕯🌷🌿🌍💗🕊🇲🇾🇸🇬
Do you r think commies like the late Chin Peng also a 'Chinese success' story? Chin moved to another country and the Malaysian gov't wouldn't allow him to come back.
"The documentary follows the efforts of one man - Lee Eng Kew (a.k.a Ah Kew), freelance writer and field historian as he explores temples and graveyards to archive epitaphs, trace lineage and record oral history. His extensive research on the illustrious history of Taiping, a town of many firsts in Perak, focuses on the Chinese immigration and contributions to the town and state. This documentary was shot in 2004 in Mandarin, Hokkien and English and carries Chinese & English subtitles. It is narrated by Ah Kew."
Now everyone knowing that it's a "scam" where hundreds of investors being cheated to put money into this failure business without any accurate information about the possible riskes investing in Hyflux from the auditor.
Sadly Olivia Lum and Hyflux is in Liquidation as at 11 April 2019. Hylux business model of Build Operate and Transfer was a DISASTER with leveraging debt. Problem (1) Chinese owned businesses in Singapore or Malaysia are family businesses and are tightly controlled. Ms Lum failed to appoint a CEO who could drive her business in a managed risked manner. Hyflux was Chinese dominated and there was NO Independent Board of Directors to oversee the business. A major problem with Chinese Businesses in reality. Ms Lim had too much on her plate and did not have the skilled experts to back her up. Yet she was an appointed parliamentarian. Where is a focus or was it all about the POWER The company has over Singapore dollars 3 Billion in debt and the banks are closing in and bond holders offered 6% are wiped out. I wrote a comment )see below) ONE year ago that Ms Lums membrane technology and desalination plant required extensive capital, enormous fossil fuels tp power them and was not sustainable in the long run as Singapore was subsidising water and there was excessive wastage. Ms Lum did not invest enough in R&D but pursues old tech and wished to expand Hylux within Singapore. However, expanding to the Middle East proved difficult with poor old tech, high capital costs and poor paymasters. The crushing blow was cancelled contracts, which Hyflux guaranteed and the low price of oil and gas that powered these membrane facilities was uneconomical. Hylux wished to become an electricity supplier in Singapore as a integrated water and power supplier. Singapore's water security plans have been dealt a blow. The vultures are circulating and may this be a lesson on how corporate governance in Singapore is run with family founders unwilling to let go and bring the right people. A tip, Poach a few top Indians from Malaysia, me included. call me jaychelliah@yahoo.com
Emno malaysia the racist country with racial discrimination written into their constitutions. Their emno way of democracy can never protect the rights of the minorities
Luckily she went to Singapore Otherwise she will have to carry the 12 th century medieval status cult , in Msia known as Datuk or Tan Sri, an Elites Gangster Groups that kill you with money above law and not bullets ! In Singapore it's MR or Madam , no matter how rich are you! So to remind that you are not above the law!!! It's more a civilised society not the uncivilised medieval culture in Malaysia white collar Gangster group!!!
@@Tom-cf5lk 50000 retail investors lost their life long savings totalling S$900 mil due to this woman's failure. She has got $58mil bonuses paid to her private account of course she could rise again but what about those 50,000 old folks left high and dry ?
all i can say is someone should move/berhijrah. from mainland china to msia/hong kong. from msia to spore. from spore to msia. from penang/ipoh/jb/sabah/sarawak to kl. from kl move to kemaman or else many people move/hijrah from kampung to town/city n succeed. hundred years ago millions people from europe including immigrants move to new world name america evan many prophet himself move from born place to new place
Not true. Is not the moving that brings success. We didn't have to move if we can live , grow and expand at our homeland. We move because our grow are limited by our old environment.
A Kamparian succeeded in Singapore, well done! What a story of struggle to success! Well Done Olivia, keep going...Remember God is in control and put you in each situation, may you continue to be strong in Him
Sure, the lady studied in a segregated Chinese school that had a better ethos to learning and hard work in Kapar and left for more Chinese preferred opportunities than in racially divided MY. Normally, it is difficult for MY Citizens to access SG Schools and this is a mystery. A Junior College place is difficult but then, she was lucky to excel in Maths, English, and Sciences. Next, she went to NUS. Entrepreneurship is a Chinese Way BUT to develop a validation of her Ideas in Water Purification takes more than just brains or an MBA or Tech Innovator or Computer Coder. Its called Risk Capital. Waste Water Industry is Capital Intensive with regard to Waste Infrastructure and Filtration / Reverse Osmosis and UV light impregnation. Where did this Risk Capital Comes FROM? Crowd funding from old classmates can be limiting in terms of financial quantum. R & D is expensive. This Lady then exists to China. Again to a Chinese Race Country. China is 'shark infested' and there she found success. Membrane Tech and subsequent water treatment was expensive - even today. Developing NEW WATER is very expensive and NOT commercially viable even at today's costs. China has a shortermish attitude to profits. So, I am NOT sure that turning waste and human effluents is cost effective to make new water drinkable. Singapore can pay HIGH Prices for water as part of SG's water security. This simplistic tech is NOT High Tech as a innovative technology. Only Singapore can subsidise water costs to its SG Citizens as a strategic case. SG should be more concerned with conservation, wastage and savings. There are no mechanisms for teaching this in SG and in companies. SG citizens are abusive to water wastage. Perhaps, humidity to water is innovative but commercially can be considered when the cost / benefit analysis is done . I would presume this will be costly. A FAIR Documentary but Hylux was not promoting the many aspects of conservation and sustainability. Her Company has limited growth outside SG or the Middle East where these countries are willing to subsidised new water which is then WASTED by its consumers. Wasting Water in SG is not acceptable. A tip to Hylux.... consider desalination Plants offshore (100 meters from land) with its Membrane Tech and using a small nuclear plant as an energy source. A small nuclear plant can be developed in China but SG is pro US and will not get the go ahead??
shame to hyflux - hyflux fired staffs if they don't buy company products like ELO Water and skincare products etc. Global companies will not do that. This is th difference between Singapore companies and global companies. Hyflux can't sell products to the market then forces staffs to buy. Shame to Singapore.
谢谢李永球先生在田野调查的付出，让后人能够更了解华人先贤的历史
Malaysian spoil Sg name. She was terrible boss
Truly inspiring. What a great mind.

Look what happened to her now!!!
The title should read Ah Kew the digger. Please alter
2 thumbs up. He finally published his book. I read the book in 2004 and bought a copy later. I salute you Ah Kew!
好

Malayu gaji buta king
I remember the late chief of MCP was a Chinese. MCP was a terrorist organization in case you don't know.
Brilliant Singapore. Quality comes first . Not quantity with low or no education. Malaysia has missed out
Now can make new video titled Malaysian Chinese Failure Story. Lol
赞! 替生為太平人感到驕傲,有一個像李永球這么有毅力,為理想当作使命在作太了不起了,太平人都应該為他喝彩!赞赞贊!李永球先生!
plz change the title of successful lady to 'a successful lady manage a listed company until failure!'
特别值得一提的是太平监狱其实是马来亚历史上第一个监狱 而且这监狱真的早过半山吧的监狱建起 可是这监狱还有用着
Do you r think commies like the late Chin Peng also a 'Chinese success' story? Chin moved to another country and the Malaysian gov't wouldn't allow him to come back.
其实李永球老师说的这位真实杀死苏亚松的凶手，马来酋长Ngah Ibrahim。 如果读过国中中学历史，会对他有印象，就算不太熟悉，也会有所而闻 尤其是读到想到邦各条约的历史，还有巴西沙叻，反抗殖民的历史，会多少激起回想 没错，他就是霹雳皇室有名的外戚贵族，后来他有多少支持苏丹阿都拉二世继任苏丹，间接影响英国殖民霹雳，后来又因为不满英国人在霹雳横行霸道，所以暗地里资助主张反抗英殖民政府和要在霹雳河畔刺杀参政司毕治的马来民族英雄拿督马哈拉惹里拉。 最后在刺杀事件东窗事发后，拿督马哈拉惹里拉，和两名亲信，被英政府在太平判处绞刑。 苏丹阿都拉二世，被作为帮凶，和几名外戚大臣判处流放塞西尔岛，当中包括了马来酋长Ngah Ibrahim。
妈的。。这个什么球的人是个伟人啊！佩服他把太平另一幕历史重写出来
回家种苗去了
