ACCA Sunway-TES Accounting Challenge

A few weeks back, I attended a prize-giving ceremony of ACCA Sunway-TES Accounting Challenge. The competition held was only between the students of all chinese independent school. Applause to Chong Hwa's participants for being the winner of 2009.

So why am I being so random anyway? It's not like I participated. Duh! Of course I'm aware of that. I believe all of you who stays in West Malaysia have been to Sunway Pyramid and heard of Sunway Uni. College right? Well then, do you have any idea who own Sunway?

Ans : Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah.

Jeffrey Cheah: “OMFG! What should I do with my $275,000,000”

Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah was one of the honoured guests invited to attend the ceremony. After the ceremony ended, friends of mine pushed their way through the board of directors following behind Tan Sri - just to request for a photo to be taken with him :)

Surprisingly, Jeffrey Cheah is a very down to earth old man. When we requested a picture with him, he agreed without any hesitation. He even volunteered to find a place with a better view where the pictures can be nicely taken. How cute can a old man be?

But TOO BAD. Business is still business. One day, one day I shall fulfill my dreams to.... *silent*

Nonetheless, the most shocking fact is that Jeffrey Cheah drove a freaking Lamborghini. Imagine an old man driving a Lamborghini. Holy cow! I was only expecting Jeffrey Cheah arriving with a chauffeur in a luxurious car - maybe a Mercedes Benz S500? But this is totally out of expectation.

Our founder drives a Italian sport car. What about yours? A national car?
