A Kamparian succeeded in Singapore, well done! What a story of struggle to success! Well Done Olivia, keep going...Remember God is in control and put you in each situation, may you continue to be strong in Him
I wouldn't know at all about this Successful Malaysian Lady if I was not in the process of looking for a job, for a Quality Head. She looked so humble which has been the key to success of many entrepreneurs Proud to know that a Malaysian being very successful. Yes, there is not much opportunity for non-Malays here in Malaysia, for those really capable in many fields. I hope will end up in some good companies where i can start the next level in my career life. Bravo MDM Olivia.
Not only Olivia made Malaysians proud she also made Singapore proud as Singapore gave the present opportunity and Malaysia gave her the strength and determination....this came about because of the stupid UMNO policy of discriminating its own citizens....like people said the one that laugh the last laugh the loudest......Bravo Olivia you deserved your fame and fortune....
Actually UMNO Malay believed oppressed advancement of minority and discriminate against them in Malaysia in all walk of life will propel Malay forward and lift them out of poverty due to some politically motivated belief that Non Malay Malaysian is the main cause of Malay failure to control large percentage of Malaysia's economy since independence.
Inspiring, Courageous and Determination: The world does not owe us a living nor we owe the world. Do not sit quietly expecting for free hands out (no difference to beggar). Simply we owe ourselves a living is to be hardworking.
what an inspirational true life success story! So appreciate the value of education, the role of educators, the love of others, the determination to work smart, and willingness to sacrifice short term gratification to achieve long term goals. Finally, don't forget to help others when you are successful. A US viewer.
My mom was born there too and I can relate to how hard her life was like. She has inspired me so much to pursue my goals and give my 100%. My wish now is only to meet her one day.
Her company - Hyflux was become a bankruptcy company & a lot of people because of her lost their EPF money. I think a lot of people wanna throw eggs or shoes on her face!!!
Malaysia actually have a lot of talents but unfortunately these ppl left Malaysia to go other countries. Singapore is one of the few countries who benefit most of it, but if she still in Malaysia today, she might not be who she is today. So she make a right decision and she deserves what she have today.
There are many Malaysians working in Singapore or immigrated here, and as a Singapore, I'll be the first to admit that most of them are much more hardworking - and had to overcome much more - than the average Singaporean, and we have a lot to be thankful for that. While I appreciate that Singapore gains a lot from Malaysia's lost, Singapore cannot exist alone in Southeast Asia. The region's growth is also our growth. Only the terribly myopic and small sees this as a zero sum game.
choo77 No...they work hard....look at Singapore, majority of the people over there are Chinese....Singapore is the richest City-State in Southeast Asia. Nothing in this world is free !
Yes, a Malaysian accent and yes Hospital Kampar was featured. No matter where she was born, or lives now, she has still risen in live, and it is a good motivation for all of us in the world. I'm Malaysian and I hope that this story will inspire all, MALAYSIANS or Singaporean or other nationals.
As for the national education system encompassing multi-stream schools, I have just a thought. Chinese Indonesians were able to converse in such perfect Bahasa Indonesia that an overwhelming majority of them had completely forgotten their Mother Tongues. Not only that, they were also pressured into giving up their Chinese names and much of their cultural heritage. In short, they had to pretty much give up their own identity. But well, do we need any reminder as to what exactly happened to them in the immediate aftermath of the 97' Asian Financial crisis? True unity can only be achieved by winning the hearts and minds of the people and not forced assimilation. If you are truly sincere in working towards genuine unity, perhaps ask yourself first if you are ready to accept all Malaysian citizens, regardless of their race, Mother Tongue or religion, as your fellow compatriots. Even the Tibetans and Uighurs in China are given the freedom to place the necessary importance to learning their own Mother Tongues in the "totalitarian" state's education system. Did students enrolled in Chinese stream schools not know the language - Bahasa Malaysia? Then, how did they fare in the UPSR, the nationwide local Primary school leaving exam? Speaking of an education system that purportedly promotes fairness, does the quota system in local Universities truly and proportionately reflect the diversity of the different ethnic groups within the Malaysian population? Remember, think of the country as a whole if you wish to become truly advanced in the future. Different people have their own unique strengths and we should indeed treasure them. A wise leadership would know how to leverage on each individual strength to the maximum extent of its potential for the overall benefit of the nation. It is wiser to work harder and spend the effort in formulating effective ways to grow the nation together as a people (in diversity) instead of embroiling in the taxing affair of devising all the schemes to try carve it up by magnifying the differences among the different ethnic and religious groups. As Aristotle would have put it: "The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal." What's counterproductive for the nation will ultimately prove disastrous for EVERY SINGLE Group in the country, regardless the ethnicity or religion. A truly respectable democracy is judged by how it treats its minorities. Democracy is not a system to be abused for certain political bargains that reflect only extreme shortsightedness. I am just but an ordinary concerned civilian. May Allah and/or God/s bless Malaysia and Long Live One Malaysia. Even One is not just A number but made up of infinite possibilities: 1 = 1/3 + 2/3 = 0.3333.... + 0.6666.... (sum of 2 infinite numbers) = 0.9 + 0.1 = 10 X 0.1 = 10 X (1/30 + 2/30) =...
That is indeed a good one, a genuine one indeed. All the comments I see here just filled with nothing but hate? Badmouthing against people based on race background is already a serious offense, now they actually Up to Eleven where everyone who writes these comments are sick hypocrites who can't tell the difference between right and wrong, fails to see a bigger picture, and nothing is worse than pointing fingers and blame somebody all the while prefer goyang kaki and chose to be ignorant in many ways. It's not like Frog in a Well without knowing how wide is sky that ignorant, its more like a fish in a fishbowl without knowing the river...
I really inspired seeing Malaysian Chinese give too many contribution to my country . And when seeing this also make me feel HATE towards my own race MALAY . the fact that CHINESE give more contribution itself that the MALAY itself . the MALAY is living under the government subsidy . they complain when the government cut out the subsidy and doing GST . MALAY keep asking free thing from government , just look at them only 22% of Malaysia economy is from MALAY taxpayer while 68% is from CHINESE taxpayer . Just look , I mean the MALAY itself is about 2.5 population than the Chinese itself in Malaysia. I know that the government itself is a failure too since 2014 , najib started it . I MALAY and I will never be like most of the MALAY instead I want to be entrepreneur and become billionaire and SERVE my country . I know to become a successful person is not EASY , must go through all the HARD challenge to accomplish it . I just wish MALAY can be like Chinese in terms of successful businessman .
+Hi Haw Dong yes , of course . Experience is one of most assets that inspired us . But , to be honest only 10% or maybe less than that of Malay learn from it . But , mostly Chinese do . I also learn from experience too . Even now i learn from another culture at my university here in Australia . Currently now im doing Diploma at University of Southern Wales , Australia . im 19 years old for now and still have about 3 semester here to end my Dip. There too many student here from different country and i feel great for it that i can obtain more experience from abroad students . about Chinese culture , i already get attached to it because i was in SJK ( C ) CHUNG HUA as my primary school , so basically i can talk fluently in Mandarin . I feels great and proud about that too . i believe i can be one of successful person so i can taught my RACE to be more professional and Rational .
+AzimSobri it's not the Malay that has the problem, it's just how the gov give out too many free things, make people more dependant, just like Native Australians. I believe if any government give too many free things to any particular race without those people need to put In any effort, those race will turn demanding for free stuff too as their mental strength became weaker as they know the gov will always back them up no matter what, so it's not about Malay race, it's about a situation that's created to allow people to take things for free all the time.
Singapore still alot of homeless ppl and suicide rate high due to debts . So u must know nothing great abt singapore. Blood sucking country and one of stupidest country.
Do we need privileges to succeed in life? Are they really not a double-edged sword? If people keep giving you handouts, are they really helping you? Is this sustainable? What happens when too many people are on handouts? Think long and hard, not for me, but for yourself....
Manage to make the best of her talent in Singapore where racial n religion discrimination is practically non existence from government , truly glad for her make the right move. If she would to decide stay put inside Malaysia < her homeland> to build her business empire , since as a non Bumiputra female and a non Muslim; she might not be able to gain employment , let alone can expand her business over the years ; due to many road blocks place ahead by government 4 a non Bumiputra/non Muslim entrepreneurs and her lack of political connection where business success often tie to who you know and what political party you support; decision to take it to Singapore couple with willingness to work hard may well enable her to reach full potential and become successful later.
business inspiring as she is.the life history of oliva can lead many to face and overcome challenges to reach their dreams.self determination,hard work and working towards the set goal probably uplight in achieving dreams as oliva.
@@Tom-cf5lk 50000 retail investors lost their life long savings totalling S$900 mil due to this woman's failure. She has got $58mil bonuses paid to her private account of course she could rise again but what about those 50,000 old folks left high and dry ?
I think she would have succeeded in anything she chose to do in her life. Beautiful success story...people should learn that God wants us to do things to improve lives for one another...not by idleness and parasitism of other human beings.Western women and girls should watch this instead of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.....I am so impressed by this lady and Asian people in general...well deserved....respect !
Sadly Olivia Lum and Hyflux is in Liquidation as at 11 April 2019. Hylux business model of Build Operate and Transfer was a DISASTER with leveraging debt. Problem (1) Chinese owned businesses in Singapore or Malaysia are family businesses and are tightly controlled. Ms Lum failed to appoint a CEO who could drive her business in a managed risked manner. Hyflux was Chinese dominated and there was NO Independent Board of Directors to oversee the business. A major problem with Chinese Businesses in reality. Ms Lim had too much on her plate and did not have the skilled experts to back her up. Yet she was an appointed parliamentarian. Where is a focus or was it all about the POWER The company has over Singapore dollars 3 Billion in debt and the banks are closing in and bond holders offered 6% are wiped out. I wrote a comment )see below) ONE year ago that Ms Lums membrane technology and desalination plant required extensive capital, enormous fossil fuels tp power them and was not sustainable in the long run as Singapore was subsidising water and there was excessive wastage. Ms Lum did not invest enough in R&D but pursues old tech and wished to expand Hylux within Singapore. However, expanding to the Middle East proved difficult with poor old tech, high capital costs and poor paymasters. The crushing blow was cancelled contracts, which Hyflux guaranteed and the low price of oil and gas that powered these membrane facilities was uneconomical. Hylux wished to become an electricity supplier in Singapore as a integrated water and power supplier. Singapore's water security plans have been dealt a blow. The vultures are circulating and may this be a lesson on how corporate governance in Singapore is run with family founders unwilling to let go and bring the right people. A tip, Poach a few top Indians from Malaysia, me included. call me jaychelliah@yahoo.com
girls can do it too as long as u believe in urself. believe ur ideas. believe that u can achieve like any other or even better than the guys. the reason why not many top ppl are girlz i reckon is due to lack of self-confidence and the normality of looking up to men as the capable one.
malaysia better than singapore. Malaysia country many natural resources than singapore. Singapore just a little bit state , cannot compared wtih the big country like malaysia. Sorry dude . Malaysia is malay not singapore is chinese. Sorry
shame to hyflux - hyflux fired staffs if they don't buy company products like ELO Water and skincare products etc. Global companies will not do that. This is th difference between Singapore companies and global companies. Hyflux can't sell products to the market then forces staffs to buy. Shame to Singapore.
Sure, the lady studied in a segregated Chinese school that had a better ethos to learning and hard work in Kapar and left for more Chinese preferred opportunities than in racially divided MY. Normally, it is difficult for MY Citizens to access SG Schools and this is a mystery. A Junior College place is difficult but then, she was lucky to excel in Maths, English, and Sciences. Next, she went to NUS. Entrepreneurship is a Chinese Way BUT to develop a validation of her Ideas in Water Purification takes more than just brains or an MBA or Tech Innovator or Computer Coder. Its called Risk Capital. Waste Water Industry is Capital Intensive with regard to Waste Infrastructure and Filtration / Reverse Osmosis and UV light impregnation. Where did this Risk Capital Comes FROM? Crowd funding from old classmates can be limiting in terms of financial quantum. R & D is expensive. This Lady then exists to China. Again to a Chinese Race Country. China is 'shark infested' and there she found success. Membrane Tech and subsequent water treatment was expensive - even today. Developing NEW WATER is very expensive and NOT commercially viable even at today's costs. China has a shortermish attitude to profits. So, I am NOT sure that turning waste and human effluents is cost effective to make new water drinkable. Singapore can pay HIGH Prices for water as part of SG's water security. This simplistic tech is NOT High Tech as a innovative technology. Only Singapore can subsidise water costs to its SG Citizens as a strategic case. SG should be more concerned with conservation, wastage and savings. There are no mechanisms for teaching this in SG and in companies. SG citizens are abusive to water wastage. Perhaps, humidity to water is innovative but commercially can be considered when the cost / benefit analysis is done . I would presume this will be costly. A FAIR Documentary but Hylux was not promoting the many aspects of conservation and sustainability. Her Company has limited growth outside SG or the Middle East where these countries are willing to subsidised new water which is then WASTED by its consumers. Wasting Water in SG is not acceptable. A tip to Hylux.... consider desalination Plants offshore (100 meters from land) with its Membrane Tech and using a small nuclear plant as an energy source. A small nuclear plant can be developed in China but SG is pro US and will not get the go ahead??
Whoever that commented on what country gives better opportunities, I guess you never knew that as long as the infrastructure and some form of political stability exist, the rest is up to the individual entrepreneur spirit to fulfill the rest. I see some commenting on how the west or what not is superior, my answer is I don't think you even know well enough about the opportunities that present itself in Asia now, we that live in the more developed areas of Asia see more opportunities and easier government policies in doing business then those that only have a narrow vision of their so called knowledge of these parts of the world. At this globalize era, there is basically much less restrictions then our forefathers can ever imagine. So I guess you guys better do some studying before coming out with many racist bias views that you learn through bias medias or news.
all i can say is someone should move/berhijrah. from mainland china to msia/hong kong. from msia to spore. from spore to msia. from penang/ipoh/jb/sabah/sarawak to kl. from kl move to kemaman or else many people move/hijrah from kampung to town/city n succeed. hundred years ago millions people from europe including immigrants move to new world name america evan many prophet himself move from born place to new place
Not true. Is not the moving that brings success. We didn't have to move if we can live , grow and expand at our homeland. We move because our grow are limited by our old environment.

malaysia better than singapore. Malaysia country many natural resources than singapore. Singapore just a little bit state , cannot compared wtih the big country like malaysia. Sorry dude . Malaysia is malay not singapore is chinese. Sorry
shame to hyflux - hyflux fired staffs if they don't buy company products like ELO Water and skincare products etc. Global companies will not do that. This is th difference between Singapore companies and global companies. Hyflux can't sell products to the market then forces staffs to buy. Shame to Singapore.
Sure, the lady studied in a segregated Chinese school that had a better ethos to learning and hard work in Kapar and left for more Chinese preferred opportunities than in racially divided MY. Normally, it is difficult for MY Citizens to access SG Schools and this is a mystery. A Junior College place is difficult but then, she was lucky to excel in Maths, English, and Sciences. Next, she went to NUS. Entrepreneurship is a Chinese Way BUT to develop a validation of her Ideas in Water Purification takes more than just brains or an MBA or Tech Innovator or Computer Coder. Its called Risk Capital. Waste Water Industry is Capital Intensive with regard to Waste Infrastructure and Filtration / Reverse Osmosis and UV light impregnation. Where did this Risk Capital Comes FROM? Crowd funding from old classmates can be limiting in terms of financial quantum. R & D is expensive. This Lady then exists to China. Again to a Chinese Race Country. China is 'shark infested' and there she found success. Membrane Tech and subsequent water treatment was expensive - even today. Developing NEW WATER is very expensive and NOT commercially viable even at today's costs. China has a shortermish attitude to profits. So, I am NOT sure that turning waste and human effluents is cost effective to make new water drinkable. Singapore can pay HIGH Prices for water as part of SG's water security. This simplistic tech is NOT High Tech as a innovative technology. Only Singapore can subsidise water costs to its SG Citizens as a strategic case. SG should be more concerned with conservation, wastage and savings. There are no mechanisms for teaching this in SG and in companies. SG citizens are abusive to water wastage. Perhaps, humidity to water is innovative but commercially can be considered when the cost / benefit analysis is done . I would presume this will be costly. A FAIR Documentary but Hylux was not promoting the many aspects of conservation and sustainability. Her Company has limited growth outside SG or the Middle East where these countries are willing to subsidised new water which is then WASTED by its consumers. Wasting Water in SG is not acceptable. A tip to Hylux.... consider desalination Plants offshore (100 meters from land) with its Membrane Tech and using a small nuclear plant as an energy source. A small nuclear plant can be developed in China but SG is pro US and will not get the go ahead??
Kampar. Kapar is in Selangor.
Now can make new video titled Malaysian Chinese Failure Story. Lol
this is inspiring!
Great success lessons here...awesome story!
great story to become bankruptcy
Hyflux forces staffs to buy ELO products. This is how they do business. No wonder Hyflux is not making money. LOL.
Malaysian Pride !
So cool NITTODENKO veolia Hyflux watercompany
Whoever that commented on what country gives better opportunities, I guess you never knew that as long as the infrastructure and some form of political stability exist, the rest is up to the individual entrepreneur spirit to fulfill the rest. I see some commenting on how the west or what not is superior, my answer is I don't think you even know well enough about the opportunities that present itself in Asia now, we that live in the more developed areas of Asia see more opportunities and easier government policies in doing business then those that only have a narrow vision of their so called knowledge of these parts of the world. At this globalize era, there is basically much less restrictions then our forefathers can ever imagine. So I guess you guys better do some studying before coming out with many racist bias views that you learn through bias medias or news.
Although she speak with the village accent , but she is excellence!!
Please join Hyflux and work for her then u can tell me what is nightmare!!!
This is the example of win win situation.
She is losT but not WW Solution!!! A lot of people because of her become bankruptcy!!!
all i can say is someone should move/berhijrah. from mainland china to msia/hong kong. from msia to spore. from spore to msia. from penang/ipoh/jb/sabah/sarawak to kl. from kl move to kemaman or else
many people move/hijrah from kampung to town/city n succeed. hundred years ago millions people from europe including immigrants move to new world name america
evan many prophet himself move from born place to new place
Not true. Is not the moving that brings success. We didn't have to move if we can live , grow and expand at our homeland. We move because our grow are limited by our old environment.
Why most of chinese success in every coutry?
Look what happened to her now!!!

A single lady without a family is called a successful ? No marriage, no children = successful!! What a funny joke!!!
+bradley1467 the joke is on you. since when a person's success is determined by marriage, by having a family or by anyone else especially YOU?
***** Do you know that why a lot of people said "a successful man behind has a woman to support him"? FAMILY.....
Barack Obama You are really idiot, used the fake account and used the dirty words! Brainless people normally didnt use a proper name, do you think you are the real Barack Obama? If you can train your a child look alike like you, play with him/her, you will know that what is marriage. I think you didnt have a proper family to grow up of your childhood! Pity Ladyboy....
talking about a successful life u are probably a broke ass bitch lol
profanity is not illegal i can say whatever the fuck i want freedom of speech bitch
