From a RM250 salary to Malaysia's Top 50 richest list
JOHOR BARU: A modest RM250 monthly salary selling cars marked the beginning of Lim Han Weng's career, decades before his name joined the ranks of Malaysia's 50 richest. Then, Lim was just a Kedah lad trying to land a job with his high school certification, as he knew his results would not secure his passage to university. So, the best next option, was to get a job, - any job in fact. Lim applied for a series of vacancies advertised, including to be a steward with the national airline company. But all he got was a string of job rejection letters to his name. Today, at 73, Lim is the founder of Causeway Link—the iconic yellow buses that ferry thousands across the Johor-Singapore border. But his rise to the top did not come from privilege. His first break came when he landed a job at Wearne Brothers, earning RM250 a month selling cars. The company operated in Singapore and later expanded into Malaya, with dealerships for various premium brands. Lim had to pitch high-end models to small-town buyers who mostly preferred Japanese cars. His sales target: two cars a month. The tycoon said meeting the target taught him discipline, perseverance, and mostl importantly the art of selling. He later joined Lori Malaysia, a logistics company that sent him around the country before assigning him to its Johor branch—a turning point in his life. "A driver told me… Johor is where the money can be made, given its proximity to Singapore, and he was right. I stayed," the tycoon told a Singapore-based publication. By 1984, he and his wife Bah Kim Lian launched Yinson Transport, a small trucking business moving goods across the border. That venture would morph into Yinson Holdings - a global energy logistics giant and a major player in offshore oil and gas supplies. In 1996, Yinson was listed on Bursa Malaysia but Lim didn't stop there. He diversified into renewables, marine support, and later electric vehicle charging. In Singapore, he founded Liannex Corporation in 1993, expanding into marine logistics, port operations, and construction supplies. Earlier this year, Liannex acquired Icon Offshore and rebranded it as Lianson Fleet Group. By June 2, its market value had soared past RM670 million. But what cemented his legacy for ordinary Malaysians was the launch of Causeway Link in 2003. Spotting a need among cross-border commuters, Lim built the service from scratch. "There were so many hurdles - permits, finance, manpower. But we pushed through," he was quoted by Singapore's the Straits Times. The company was listed this year as HI Mobility, with expansion plans into smart transport systems. Despite a reported family fortune of US$480 million (RM2.3 billion), Lim remains directly involved in operations, even answering WhatsApp messages from angry passengers or the Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, himself. His son, Lim Chern Chuen, now CEO of HI Mobility, admitted: "It's hard for him to retire. Our dinner chats are mostly work-related. For him, business is also joy." Lim's children - Chern Yuan (Yinson), Chern Wooi (Lianson), and Chern Fang alongside Chern Chuen (HI Mobility), now run the family's public-listed portfolio. Lim raised them independently, sending them to Australia under age 10. "No helpers, no mollycoddling. Let them survive. If parents keep feeding them, they'll never learn to stand up." He's still involved in business deals, particularly in Indonesia. "My kids don't speak the language, so I handle it. If you retire, your brain will rust," he said. A firm believer in entrepreneurship, Lim often encourages others to strike out. "Some bankers I've dealt with are now business owners. I told them, take the risk."

'Flying Roti Canai' Steals The Spotlight At Osaka Expo 2025
Subscribe to our FREE Visitors at Japan's 2025 Osaka Expo were captivated by a culinary performance in the Malaysia Pavilion as one of the most popular foods here passed with 'flying' colours in the eyes of food lovers. Spectators were treated to a show where roti canai dough was spun in the air while a delectable buttery aroma wafted across the space to attract an even bigger crowd. According to a Mohammad Muiz, sharing the response he recieved from visitors, said 'Many have praised the deliciousness of roti canai and given very positive feedback, both in terms of taste and our presentation'. Tudiaaaa Anak Pokok Sena buat persembahan menebar dan menerbangkan roti canai, di Kotaraya Osaka Jepun, sampai orang Jepun terpegun dan terpukau. Terima kasih sahabatku Mr Anizam Faezah yang hantar video ini. Terbaik Adik Muiz Ruzaini 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 He commented that many Japanese would come up and say 'Oishi' (delicious), and repeat the word as many as seven times. Interestingly, most of the visitors he received were from Japan, South Korea, and China. The Kedah local said he did not expect to be selected as part of the Malaysian delegation to the Expo 2025 in Osaka. Each of the roti canai was served with chicken curry and dhal for 1,680 yen (RM49.82). That's a pretty steep price for roti canai. We should thank our lucky stars we can enjoy the dish here for less than a fraction of that price! Despite the price, the roti canai champions reached an average sale of of 1,000 to 1,600 pieces per day at the expo. Roti canai is not just about performance, it has tons of variety too Being such a versatile dish with only a simple mixture of flour, water, salt, and butter, roti canai can and has been combined with many other food ingredients. Sometimes, with really odd choices as well. Want a roti canai that is more savoury and has more protein? There's roti telur. Or make it a double and order roti jantan (two eggs). If you prefer something sweet and chocolatey, you can ask for roti Milo (a childhood favourite). That's right, you can have roti canai with almost anything you can think of, provided the chef has the ingredients available. Get them to add onions, cheese, or even bananas. The list of combos are almost limitless! READ MORE: What is the Osaka Expo 2025? Malaysia Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025. Image: Expo 2025 Expo 2025 is a World Expo hosted in Osaka, Japan.

#SHOWBIZ: MPO brings epic 'Godfather' score live
For the first time, director Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic masterpiece will be presented as "The Godfather Live" by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) on June 14. The special two-hour concert at the prestigious Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP) in Kuala Lumpur will start at 8pm. A winner of three Academy Awards and countless other accolades, 'The Godfather' remains one of cinema's greatest films. Its enduring appeal is largely due to Nino Rota's iconic score, which, combined with traditional Italian folk music, is instantly recognisable to moviegoers worldwide. Under the baton of Gerard Salonga, the MPO will perform the iconic "mafia" movie's complete score live, synchronised with the film shown in high definition on a large screen. 'Godfather Live' conductor and producer Justin Freer, in a recent statement, said: "It is with great excitement that we are able to bring this masterful score and film to Dewan Filharmonik Petronas. "That we are able to preserve and present some of the most cherished music in the history of our craft is both exhilarating and humbling." He added: "There is little film music as instantly recognisable as Nino Rota's opening music played on trumpet, and only a handful of films as masterfully made as 'The Godfather'. "The marriage of these two masterpieces on stage live will be a visual and aural treat like nothing else." 'THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE' 'The Godfather', released by Paramount Pictures in 1972, tells the story of the Corleones and their rivalry with other New York crime families between 1945 and 1955. The head of the crime family, Vito (played by Marlon Brando), hands over the reins of power to his youngest son Michael (Al Pacino), who is reluctant to "get dirty with work". Michael, however, learns the ropes fast and soon becomes a capable heir to his father. The movie, which also starred James Caan, John Cazale, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton, won three Academy Awards – including Best Picture and Best Actor (Brando) – and solidified Coppola's reputation as being among the "New Hollywood" directors who revolutionised the industry from the late 1960s onwards. In 2008, 'Empire' magazine proclaimed 'The Godfather' the greatest film ever made, with 'Entertainment Weekly' and 'Metacritic' a also awarding it the esteemed distinction. It placed second in Sight & Sound's 2002 list and Time Out's 2003 readers' poll, and currently holds the number two spot on IMDb's all-time list. Composer Rota gained international recognition in the 1950s and 1960s for his collaborations with renowned Italian directors Federico Fellini and Luchino Visconti. His music for 'The Godfather', including its immortal 'Love Theme From The Godfather', was ranked No. 5 in the American Film Institute's list of the greatest scores ever written. "We are proud to embrace the evolution of live experience. We hope that this concert honours the many talented musicians that bring the music of the movies to life, while giving everyone the ability to relive one of the great masterpieces in cinema," Freer said. NO STRANGER TO FILM CONCERTS In a recent interview, Salonga said: "The Godfather Live is not a first for the MPO. There have already been quite a few film concerts presented by the MPO at DFP, and I have conducted quite a few as well, the first being 'Ratatouille' in 2016." The best-known film concerts involving the MPO include 'Psycho' (2010), 'Home Alone' (2014), 'Casablanca' (2015), 'Ratatouille' (2016), 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' (2019), 'Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone' (2024), 'Avatar – The Last Airbender' (2024), 'Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets' (2025) and 'La La Land In Concert' (2025). "We chose 'The Godfather' because it is a major achievement in cinematic history, the music is memorable and so closely associated with the subject of the film "On a personal note I am a fan, and I had the original novel in my house when I was a kid," Salonga said. He added that Michael Corleone played by Al Pacino was his favourite character in the movie. "I have always been an admirer of Pacino and the character of Michael is complex and human. "As for the movie score, it has always been on my bucket list, so I'm looking forward to hearing the MPO perform the iconic main theme from the film, as well as the trumpet solo." A RESTAGING ON THE HORIZON There will be approximately 60 musicians in the MPO this time, and 'The Godfather Live' may be restaged by popular demand. "Prior to this, we've restaged a few other concerts," said Salonga, whose favourite score at DFP is a toss-up between 'Harry Potter' and 'Ratatouille'. "Ratatouille has a beautiful score by Michael Giacchino, and it is memorable to me personally because that was the first concert I conducted with the MPO. Salonga also hopes to conduct scores from other cinematic classics, including 'Star Wars', the remaining Harry Potter films, 'Gladiator', 'Amadeus', 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Jurassic Park'. "More and more films are being released as concerts with live orchestras, including 'Top Gun'!" he said. The MPO also has plans to perform 'The Godfather Live' outside Kuala Lumpur. "It would be nice for us, the MPO, to once again perform for more Malaysians, whether classical repertoire or a film concert. "The orchestra belongs to Malaysians and everyone should be able to enjoy an MPO performance," Salonga added.
