The Story of a Billionaire
去年的演讲稿...拿过第三名的哦...比我昨天English Essay还好几百倍...后悔没拿来看）
Good morning ladies and gentleman, thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak to you today. The title of my speech is “the story of a billionaire”. The person who I want to talk today is Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong is also known as “uncle Lim”.

Uncle Lim was a prominent wealthy Malaysian Chinese businessman. He was renowned for his vision and courage in transforming Genting Highlands from an unexplored hilltop into one of the world's most successful Casino resorts. He was once the 3rd richest man in Malaysia with a net worth estimated to be 4.2 billion US Dollar, making him the 204th richest person in the billionaire list compiled by Forbes.

Uncle Lim was born in 1918 in Anxi, Fujian, China. He went to Malaya at the age of 19 with his small suitcase and 175 US dollars. He worked as a carpenter with his uncle in Kuala Lumpur. Two years later, he became a sub-contractor and completed his first job of building a two-storey school. In the year 1951, he set up his own construction company, Kien Huat Private Limited, with his savings.The company was completed many major projects. Among the biggest projects completed was the Ayer Itam Dam, the first time a local contractor had been given a construction job of such magnitude.

The Genting Highlands Theme Park is the idea of building a hilltop resort was first conceived when he was building a hydro-electric dam in Cameron highlands. He had an idea to developing a mountain resort in Ulu Kali Mountain, which was nearer from Kuala Lumpur. As a chairman, he set up a private company called Genting Highland Sdn.Bhd. in 1965. Genting Highland was granted the only casino licence after Tunku Abdul Rahman, the prime minister of Malaysia then, visited Genting Highlands and commended uncle Lim's effort to develop a resort contributing to Malaysia's tourism industry without government help. Genting Highlands opened its door for business on 1971.

As of now, Genting Highlands is one of the most successful Casino resorts in the world and is one of the primary tourist attractions in Malaysia. Uncle Lim's company, Genting Group operates Genting Highlands and has diversified into many other industries such as plantations, property, paper, power generation, oil and gas exploration and cruise boat industries. On 31 December 2003, uncle Lim handed his chairmanship of Genting Group over to his son, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay.

Uncle Lim died in 23 October 2007 in Subang Jaya Medical Centre. He is survived by his wife, Puan Sri Lee Kim Hua, and their six children and 19 grandchildren. His body was laid to rest at Gohtong Memorial Park at Gohtong Jaya on Monday 29 October 2007.

Well, this is the story about the billionaire, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. Thank you.
