In 2021, Pang Gek Teng returned to Singapore after the pandemic caused the closure of the F&B business she had built in Australia. In just three years, she went from being nearly broke to becoming the chief executive of Surrey Hills Grocer Group. READ MORE: str.sg/s2qs [For ST subscribers]

ST is truly running out of content… As much as I’m happy for her success, the only inspiration I got out of this is that I have to do better at reincarnating into a rich family my next life…

Hello haha my family is not rich. My business is funded without my family.

Where did the cheque came from and what’s the amount? Probably enough to open 5 stores in 3 years

@icyboy771z 3 ай бұрын

It was close to $300k from her friend

@nicholasgoh3526 3 ай бұрын

@@icyboy771z I thought so. What’s wrong with saying she got financial help from a friend instead of framing it like she’s down to her last dollar? Everyone loves a rags to riches story but this is certainly not one. Actually if you have a friend who can lend you $300k for a project, it shows that you are a credible person who also possesses the skills to make this project a success. It’s a good thing and there is no need to tell the story in this manner.

If at all interchange easily have a kind of noticepaper: "the way to create business" like an instruction? Imagine every g.s.t the life relive from business starters maybe? "It's different than their story" in mind of target, rescuing the target accidentally.

2:47 Why not sell Australian broccolis in Singapore? Missing advertisement in video scene. Separate monetise as global advertisement thesis and professional practice to show unique selling points, purple cow, what your local competitors don’t have in your KZfaq videos or social media ads. This create win-win for everyone. Consumers buy more from increased choices (insert economics thesis and points), everyone is wealthier and happier so bosses can max charity donations.

ST this video is obviously an ad. Seriously? All we want to see is genuine content, not some people that pays some PR company to get ST to do an ad for them. Please find better content such as covering true entrepreneurs that really begin from scratch (not backed by rich folks) and put their whole heart into their business. This video is basically saying this woman was rich but failed and became broke, then “lost her confidence” but somehow become CEO again just because a rich friend backed her. Lame

Hello, I don’t think my rich friend backed me without a thought of believing. This story is sharing how it’s possible to start again, anywhere. I hope you too, find a refreshing point.

Seriously,ST is this an ad? whats the inspiration behind this story?? From nearly broke to CEO (but was it through her own efforts thats she became a CEO?) She is just more lucky than others that she has "friends" who will back her to start the business... thats all! If this is not an ad, whats the story then? or purpose to spin this story? -- Find rich freinds who will "back" you ? even if you have failed in several other businesses?? i think she used to also own some watch business that failed (too) and then failed in her F&B business . . ?? Come on ST are you running out of content??...
