Singapore's richest man dies at 82
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's richest man and property tycoon Ng Teng Fong died early on Tuesday after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage on Jan. 23, a spokeswoman for his family business said. He was 82.
Ng was the head and patriarch of the unlisted Far East Organization, one of the three largest developers in Singapore alongside CapitaLand and City Developments.
He was also the founder of Hong Kong developer Sino Land, which is now headed by his son Robert Ng.
Forbes magazine said in September last year that Ng was Singapore's richest man with a net worth of $8 billion.

That is positive as compared to the competitor's wife.
contractors are lining up outside his daughter's office to get payment for work done - some could be as long as 9 months before their work is fully paid...
everyone knows its hard to get their money from the property magnate...
u r right, fantagf.....and PAP will queue up in either alphabetical or hierarchical orders..one by one with "gek jit deh bin" (force out a kind of face) to show empathy...standard in all news and medias alike....
buay tahan...bo bian ah....such is the high society mannerisms....follow lor...
They only attend rich people's wake. NO money no go.
if he is really so generous, he will have dedicated a huge portion of his will to charity. look at warren buffet, he is only leaving 1% to his daughter, the other 90% is going to Bill and Melinda Gates Fund.
in addition, Jobs has much much more charisma than Ng.Jobs look much more serious and mature and presentable that's why he is so well received
something about this guy
when he and his son take a plane to hongkong
he choose Air Asia ecom seat while his son choose Sin 1st class seat.
they travel in different plane and different style
he do donation , but maybe in silence.(im not sure about his sons)
he doesnt eat on expensive and dont behave like a rich person (totally different from his sons)
he is a nice person that seldom screw his staff
but his son behave like some other living things on the earth due to the rich style they have
Originally posted by mrvictor:about time. this man seems like he doesn't donate to charity at all. he earns more than the richest sportsman in the world (Tiger Woods) and earn more than China's richest person ( who has around 5.4 million). yet never at any point of time have we seen his name in the newspaper donating a huge sum of money to charity or to universities or schools
I saw his name somewhere he must have donated something.
