His full name is Lim Goh Tong. He
was born in 1918 at An Xi, Fu Jian, China. He has six siblings. He is married
to Lee Kee Hua and he has only one child namely Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay. He is the
founder of Genting Highlands, Genting Groups and Star Cruises.
The idea of a hill resort was chanced upon by late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong
amidst the crisp air of Cameron Highlands in 1964. Tan Sri Lim was then working
on a hydro-electric power project at the popular hill resort, patronised mostly
by British colonials seeking cool refuge from the tropical heat, when he
foresaw a prosperous Malaysia of the future desiring a cool mountain holiday
resort within the reach of all Malaysians. He face a lot of challenges during
the construction of Genting Highlands. The situation putting his
physical ability to the limit for managed both projects. However, it doesn’t
direct the Genting Highlands project to the failure side. In the middle of the
project, Lim Goh Tong faced financial troubles. He seeks the financial help
from his friends, but again they suggested dropping the entire project and
turning him down. The whole Genting Highlands project had been completed in the
year 1971, even though all of these issues had blocked him towards the success
path. The entrepreneur trait of failure is an option shown on how successful of
the project by Lim Goh Tong.
