You go this one wrong bro.
There are 2 people in this forum who know him personally. He grew up in a household where all races were welcome. Janil's the arsehold PAP MP father and uncle would often have meals in their house. One of Robert's daughter married a Indian Muslim. His own flaw was the way he treated his first wife. When he first started his business after his father died, he relied heavily on an Indian with all his financials.
Robert is still used by old man to settle issues with the Malaysians. I am sure the Malays would not bother if he was a racist.
In the old days, it was acceptable to make racial comments as part of acceptable speech especially by those who mix freely. The perception I suppose came about because the business is very much in family hands.
His mother however was a saint.
Hardly humble....insiders who know him calls him a snob and a racist.
