December is typically an opportune time for introspection, particularly for a curveball of a year like 2020. While things may not have gone right for most, it presented us with lots of time to reflect; to look back on better days, assuring us that the light at the end of the tunnel is hopefully just around the corner.
This dictated the approach of our conversation with Kenneth Goi, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of GSH Corporation, and son of billionaire businessman Sam Goi, who is the chairman of both Tee Yih Jia Foods and GSH. For the 47-year old father of three, his childhood was a good jumping-off point for the conversation.
“Growing up, I remember how busy my parents were building up the business, so I spent a lot of time hanging around the Tee Yih Jia factory or office. It was normal for my siblings and me to help out with tasks here and there, which seemed like a fun thing to do as a kid,” recalls Goi. Compared to most families, this might not have been the norm, but Goi appreciates it, as he was able to witness his father’s hard work and sheer determination.
