It is interesting how the 64-year-old founder, managing director and group chief executive of Mah Sing Group Bhd staves off challenges. Tending to go on the offensive, he would not hesitate to disrupt the market to dash to the finishing line in the shortest possible time.

Q&A with Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum

"We are confident of meeting our property sales target and are committed to continue delivering commendable results via our property, plastics and healthcare divisions... As the market gradually returns to its growth momentum, I expect next year we will be seeing a strong rebound for the property market," says Leong.

Not one to be complacent

While diversifying into the glove manufacturing industry, Leong says he will not give up his property development business as it still serves as the Group’s core business, contributing 89% to the group’s profit before tax in 2020. The remaining 11% came from plastic manufacturing (10%) and investment holdings and other businesses (1%).
