Malaysian tycoon Robert Kuok would not have become as successful as he is it if were not for the government, says Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
"If we look at the list of names of the richest people in Malaysia, such as Robert Kuok, who gave him the key to become the rice and sugar king? It was given to him by the ruling government," Najib said.
"Sugar king" was a nickname bestowed upon Kuok due to his once-dominant position in the sugar industry, which many identify as being the key to his wealth.
"Yes, he is driven, hardworking, industrious and disciplined – but that is not enough. Everyone still needs the key and they are hopeful that government policies are key to creating these opportunities," he said after launching the government's two-day Skim Latihan 1Malaysia (SL1M) Open Interview programme in Serdang today.
