No ficción

In 1890, a teenage Tan Kah Kee left his hometown in Jimei, Fujian, embarking on a journey towards Singapore to join his father’s business. He single-handedly cleared his father’s debts and built thriving rubber and pineapple businesses. He lived through the harsh realities of the Great Depression and two gruelling world wars, barely escaping Japanese capture during World War Two. Despite battling numerous setbacks, he remained a charitable and compassionate man.

Illustrated by JDC Amane (creator of Lim Bo Seng and Stamford Raffles), Tan Kah Kee: Entrepreneur Par Excellence reveals the illustrious story of the “Rubber King.” Learn about his challenges, triumphs, and unwavering commitment to education and philanthropy. Be inspired by the indomitable spirit of Tan Kah Kee, a visionary leader who shaped the landscape of Singaporean education.
