Causeway Link’s Lim Han Weng: how a car salesman becomes one of Malaysia’s 50 richest

After graduating from high school, Lim began looking for a job but was rejected by most companies. Among the rejectors was Malaysia Airlines where he applied for an air steward position.

"Every time I’m on an airplane, I’m reminded of this," the 73-year-old said during an interview with The Straits Times.
