I just found out who Khoo Teck Puat is when I was researching for my marketing assignment on Maybank. Before this, I only knew that he has a hospital named after him (in my beloved Yishun), which is new and hence super efficient according to fellow wisdom-teeth removees.
OMGGGGGGG HE IUSED TO BE THE RICHEST MAN IN SINGAPORE LAH HOW COULD I NOT KNOW. He founded Maybank. Plus he owns Goodwood Park Hotel (the buffet there is super nice!) And his family funded the building of the hospital, which was why it was named after him. His son is Eric Khoo, who produced the movie 'My Magic' (with the fat Indian man swallowing fire and walking on broken glass pieces, the one they showed a couple of times on Okto).
Okay, end of post. Just realised that I don't know much about Khoo Teck Puat so now that I know a little, I feel like showing off my knowledge. Back to my assignment.
