Low profile billionaire Low Tuck Kwong made record donation of $101m to LKY Sch of Public Policy

[Merl Haggard]

Well done and thank you TK Low for your kind generosity.

A humble and hard working piling contractor (Sum Cheong Piling) who was sent to Jakarta in 1972.

In 1997 TK bought S'pore listed coal company, Mahattan Resource & from there he prospered to be the richest man in Indonesia.

TK's net worth today stands at USD 30 bln.

What a waste of money doing that. Just keeping it is comparatively more productive.

In 1995 I was at Low Sum's wake at Makepeace Road (Kampong Java) and that was the last time I talked to TK.

What you heard about Taiwan mafia type of wake & funeral was not true.
