The Straits Times: 4th generation of multi-millionaire Woh Hup family set to keep shaping Singapore's iconic skyline
Woh Hup traces it origins back to 1927, when Mr Eugene Yong's grandfather, Mr Yong Yit Lin, founded the group after moving from Malaysia in the pursuit of government construction tenders. Mr Yong Yit Lin, originally from China, got his first big break as a contractor when he scored a job building fences and garden-gate posts for a British residence.
