Not resting on his laurels

KONG Wan Sing, founder and CEO of co-working space provider JustCo, may not have come from rags to riches, but he did not take his privilege for granted.

Back home in Malaysia, his father used to run a textile business, Sing Long Group, serving clients like Adidas, Nike and Reebok, according to a Forbes article.

But facing a shift in manufacturing to China, his father later sold Sing Long's factory and invested the proceeds in property.
