Olivia Lum, CEO of Hyflux was featured in Discovery channel. Olivia grew up in a small town in Malaysia. It was her school principal who advise her to come to Singapore as he told her that she should go far as the opportunities are abundant. She came to Singapore by bus with 10 dollars in her pocket. She went through school and unversity. She took Chemical Engineering course and all the time she think of business. Her first and only job was with Glaxo. She raised more than a million dollars with her professors and other venture capitalists. China was the place where she gain her success. In Singapore, the NEWATER project vaulted her into big time with the media attention and international recognition. She is tenacious and has indomitable spirit.
She did extremely well in business. A model entreprenuer. I think the only thing lacking in her life is family. She probably feels her life is full.
