Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 5, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 5, 2014 The Fullerton Hotel, formerly the General Post Office and the office of Dr Goh Keng Swee, our former Finance Minister, features an inspirational bronze statue of the late Mr Ng Teng Fong at its lobby - Far East Organization and Sino Group. NG TENG FONG 黄延方 1928 - 2010 I will dwell in the house of the lord forever, Psalm 23:6 A firm believer in the virtues of frugality, hard work and progressiveness, Ng Teng Fon considered himself simply an "ordinary working man". He had a dream and an ambition to satisfy a desire for new homes among Singaporeans. In 1960, he completed his first major project at Jalan Pacheli, establishing Far East Organization as a real estate development enterprise. He went on to develop innovative homes, build the first shopping malls in Orchard Road, and pioneer the development of a vibrant waterfront retail and commercial centre in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Hong Kong. Far East Organization together with Hong Kong-based sister company, Sino Group, have built more than 1,000 developments in Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, attesting to the entrepreneurial energy and vision of our founder. To God be the Glory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
