Be My Guest | Chew Gek Khim: The only woman on Singapore's Forbes list
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2020
- After a fierce takeover war that took place a decade ago, Chew Gek Khim, Executive Chairman of The Straits Trading, secured control of this century-old listed company. The Straits Trading is one of the companies her grandfather Tan Sri Tan Chin Tuan built up when he was the Chairman of the OCBC group. Chew was very close to her grandfather, and in fact the latter had a great influence on her career and values system. In this episode, Chew Gek Khim gives presenter Tung Soo Hua a tour of the Tan Chin Tuan Mansion, which houses fond memories of her growing up years. And it is also the first time Chew Gek Khim gives an interview in Mandarin.
"You are who you are. Your background doesnt determine who you are. But it sure influences you. It moulds you." Woah she is very cool and value things a lot! She took care of all those memories and cherish them. She is so great!
What an amazing lady. She carries herself with great dignity and without arrogance. Truly admirable for a person with immense wealth.
She is the preferred official on the cabinet list
i hope and love to meet her in the future

Perfect Oversea Chinese, fantastic family with investment trategy, occupy the correct location and run on the right path
In spite of her being the richest woman, I admire her humbleness and a good heart. May your tribe increase.
I salute her for her humbleness , polite & frank. We can actually learn alot from her. Good health & happiness i hope she enjoy for now & her future.
If I am born in silver spoon like her I too can be humble
@@nicholascage3699 You may become a prodigal & spoil kid. Do research many super rich man son// daughter or their grandchildren squandered their wealth & end up penniless & hopeless. Many eg fr Singapore or Malaysia.
*Poor mindset immediately sees a surplus as an opportunity for consumption.* *Rich mindset seeks to spend their time,* *Resources,* *And energy on work that continues to pay off long after the effort has been invested.*
That's true.
Anyone who is not investlng now is missing a tremendous opportunity.
Yes. It's better to take risk and make sacrifices than to remain poor or settle for less..
investlng in financial_market is what all rich people do. This is not a living but to grow our portfolio.
I have got to understand now that. A lot of Americans don't even think about investlng little of there money and then grow there portfolio instead they wait for NFP every first Friday of every month hoping there are more employment. You guys are getting it all wrong. Start investlng.
i never seen such a beautiful classy well spoken eloquent old woman before. shes so humble and down to earth.
我最喜歡她毫不掩飾的 " 咭咭 " 地笑 , 這個年紀仍然好真 , 好可愛
Old woman? Jeez. Not that old
Mature :)
She is humble, elegant, classy, well spoken and beautiful lady.
She must be very beautiful when she was young. Even now she looks so elegant and gorgeous..
Yeah, i agree
She is lucky to be born with a ”diamond spoon“ . However, to keep the family’s business running till today it‘s not easy. I feel whatever she has done to keep them together is impressive and she did not let her grandfather’s legacy down.
创业难 守业更难
It's not often you see a family member inherit and successfully run the business. Most of the time they get too cocky and fucked up.
U never stay with her how u know she is humble?
@@FunYouLeh...

I admire this lady. So graceful and humble despite her immense wealth.
Yes, especially in comparison to assertively crude tones of that mediacorp something
really fall in love with her!
Is it really like this
The interviewer and interviewee are very well spoken and respectful to each other in their conversation. After watching the video,, I learned a lot about communication style from both of them. Thank you for such an excellent interview.
She is a very elegant and eloquent lady. I really enjoyed watching her during the interview.
Very interesting. One can learn a lot from this interview. She is
Very intelligent and down to earth. Her outlook in life is inspiring. She is indeed an affable lady.
She appears well-educated and well-mannered lady. It’s not her fault she’s born with a silver spoon as her ancestors were hard-working folks like majority of the people in society. Mind as well enjoyed the wealth.
What do you mean fault? You speak like as if being wealthy is a sin? Being wealthy is a natural privilege for some people, nobody’s stopping you from becoming wealthy . Pls do not behave like a close minded European who thinks that wealth n profit is a dirty word n taxes the middle class till the country declines in entrepreneurship n witnesses high unemployment rate. Your mind is simple, you have not lived n worked overseas, you think like a simple minded tourist
With that kind of wealth, she could change the lives of many.. hopefully for the better
@@jennifer-oc6io i think @kara dizon is talking about those people who says “ she’s born rich that’s why “ ! :) hope that clears the air
@Jason even those that made it rich by themselves today are not as responsible as her either. the recent car accident is the biggest evidence for this year
How do you know her parents are hardworking folks? Not smugglers or sellers of counterfeit goods?? How did her parents get their first million?? Do you know or are you just speculating ?? I am NOT saying they are !!!
我学到了：
人要open-minded，多不带偏见地多了解和尝试不同的新鲜事物，尽心尽力做好所有的事，time-management很重要，快乐的童年很重要，美好品质的传承和学习也很重要，家族相片流传下来很有意义，要懂得从历史中学习跟感恩。短短四十分钟其实就分享了很多干货我觉得很好了。为什么非要吐槽主持人。truely inspired by her. 很感谢有这样的节目。
Truly admire Ms Chew’s grace and confidence in this interview. I have never known about her before but have always been interested in local history. Everything she shared talks about a nostalgic old Singapore but also her passion for work and her openness to change inspires hope for the future.
I cant believe she is this kind and yes, indeed very lively and lovely women
我在想你会回复我吗，不然评论了也感觉不太好
i met her on one of my holiday work gigs as a teenager ages ago, at the launch of DBS treasures lounge in changi airport and i remembered her lovely elegant dresses which I complimented her on, she gracefully thanked me for the compliment. No airs at all. Lovely lady she was, i love how poised she is :) [ i had no idea who she was back then of cos]
This lady is so incredibly elegant.
What a lovely, well-mannered lady. I took with me many lessons about life and living well.
谈吐优雅。。。想起那部电影 Crazy Rich Asians 杨紫琼 的角色
@@alantan9863 同时有种可爱乖巧的感觉❤️
她与外公关于进公司工作的谈话，让我很感触。无论年代，无论年龄，拥有一个开阔的思维和博大的胸怀是一个人成功的要素，也是一个家族和睦温暖的前提。

What kind of misogynistic shit is this? rolleyes.
真的是！
Nothing to be proud of if as a woman you become rich because of inheritance or spouse. Be like Oprah Winfrey who came from very poor beginnings before working hard to be a Billionaire.
She is so confident, and even if she was not talking about business or big plans, you can still observe valuable things from her
She is the preferred official on the cabinet list
She’s an inspiration and an influencer. A woman with great knowledge, wisdom and modesty. I am blessed to know and discover this woman. 🙂
她好美 真的值得学习 一个女人能够在商界取得这样的成绩，并且获得如此好评
你不是认真的吧？她的成绩和淡定都来自家庭背景，你怎么学。
Nicole Fan 就是。哈。
气质谈吐和风度不是一般富二，三代可比的，这是百年名门底蕴所滋养的，让人不竟联想到上海滩最后一批世家名门的金枝玉叶们！

Wow - Old School Classy humble - No show off , not like these newer generation - young people should learn from this interview. AAA +++
Great Interview. Her vision and her courage is of immeasurable importance. Thank you for sharing such priceless insights
Really enjoyed this interview so practical and Ms Chew was very down to earth, not pretentious and flashy with the interviewer. Got to admit there’s nothing like the cheongsam simple and so elegant. My mum use to wear the cheongsam a lot. Thank you. Proud to be Singaporean xxx
高贵又平易近人。家教好！
I am Thayalan fr Malaysia, really impressed the interview by media. Alot knowledge we learn from Ms Chew. Eventhoug she richest women in Singapore but she very humble.
i thinking the same, She will be the preferred official on the cabinet list in the future
Wow she speaks with such composure and grace but at the same time is not dull but lively and lifts the spirits in the room. I surprisingly didn't skip through any parts and stayed through the whole video because I really enjoyed listening to everything she had to say, her stories and experiences are so meaningful and will definitely resonate with me. Her posture is also amazing for her age. Great video!
I'm glad I watched this interview despite the inelegant title.
This interview was about so much more than just her wealth. On the one hand it is a glimpse into the history of business in Singapore and life of the wealthy Chinese businessmen. This is also about her philosophy and mindset on hard work, tenacity, breaking through barriers, willingness to try etc.
Thank you for this interview. There were many learning points.
Yes, she inherited from her grandpa, she deserves some credit for having the brain to manage well.....
Well, She can afford to fail a million more times than you.
Lol
@@ivanteo1973 i doubt @alan tan is trying to claim what you think it was! it more towards the fact that she is able to keep the business up and running throughout! hope that clears the air ☺️
@@jojolynnlynn it's unlikely a problem since she has a successful resourceful parent to guide her.
@@ivanteo1973 thaat's true! but you cannot deny the fact that she's hardowrking etc... i understand your viewpoint :D
Thanks for such an insighful interview.
My biggest takeaway was at the end where she shared that "We musn't be afraid of doing something for the first time. The first attempt might be better than what we expect."
Certainly something that we can apply when we encounter the unexpected
Thanks so much for the entire crew for making this beautiful video for us,is so natural in term of everyone in the video and the back ground music.Great work !!!
人生而不平等，所以不需要在意你无法改变的，专注于挑战自我极限，他人是镜子，是师，无论好的，坏的，强的，弱的，友善的，敌对的，应该都能发掘出对自我修养有益的知识，经验，技巧，教训。因为有不平，才有历史，有别，世界才精彩。
Such a classy and elegant lady!!! 好有氣質！
Humble, elegant & a very beautiful lady.
这种气质真是常年的文化, 传统浸染，看了她才懂暴发户和贵族的差别.
贵族需要世袭的熏陶，说白了还是封建思想

I enjoyed her interview, truly admire her grace and confidence. Very humble and down to earth.
我在想你会回复我吗，不然不是瞎忙活了
周女士气质好迷人，大家范
Instead of admiring this gracious lady about her unique character, it's sad to see so many comments about the form factor of the interview - irrelevant.
深深被周玉琴女士吸引了，非常有气质和人格魅力，有没有什么途径可以了解更多她的故事？
我也很想多点了解，你在新加坡吗？或许我们可以认识一下。
她將是未來 內閣名單上的首選官員
@@xuchun5371 她的气质如沐春风，可以作为新加坡文化代表🌷
want her to be Secretary of Commerce to take on the responsibility of comprehensive reforms, re-enactment and leadership of the country's commercial development.
when the time come, i will ask
第一次认识这位女士 很喜欢她哦！
She's very likeable. You could listen to her all day. I also want to mention the Nivea on her work table- probably the only thing I have in common with her.
喜欢周女士的英文用词。也有提到工作中的困难，一般人可能放弃，喜欢她外公的观点: 你能做到任何事，并督促他们学习新的业务。他们家族一直在与时俱进，不断更新提高学习，开拓新的业务。
That’s how a successful CEO should be : modest, low profile, friendly n humble 👍👍👍
Thanks for her sincerely telling her pass life how she taking all the opportunity she had to become someone that today many women can lean on wising her joyful all her life
I really enjoyed this video as it gave a very nice sense of cultural continuity.
Ms Chew Gek Khim:
“Your background does not determine the person you become . . . You decide what kind of person you are.”
“But life is a lot more complex than that.”
I would concur with the excellent interviewer when she says:
“We mustn’t be afraid of doing something for the first time. The first attempt may turn out better than we expect.”
非常感谢你!
Whatever life throws at you, you have to deal with it. It doesn’t matter you fail, you try. She is very intelligent and gorgeous.
I can learn a lot from this interview. Thank you so much
非常佩服，向她学习
She is absolutely one of the influential women’s in the world! May God’s blessed her.
Such an inspiration, you can listen to her the whole day.
watching this feels so much more elegant and educated than watching bling empire
its because she is old alrd, who knows when she was in 20s she might be a party gal
@@limwowo5902 😂😂
And thanks for this interview has bring to all the people to listen to her testimony
名門閨秀，坐有坐姿，站有站姿，談吐得當，溫文爾雅。接受英式教育出貴族。是現今中國富二代所不能達至的目標。
也不一定，以我自己经历来说中国富二代的整体素质还是挺高的，当然也不乏大量萎靡之徒，中国的九五后零零后真的有很多牛人，大部分是家庭条件很好的家庭出来的，如胡诗成和最近破解了斐波那契数列和辈组数估值的数学难题的谈方琳以及去年获得science杂志年度科学家的正在麻省理工博士的22岁的曹源，他们都是来自相对富裕的中国家庭
接受英国教育就代表贵族么？ 周礼出现的时候，欧洲人还没从山洞走出来呢。中国传统大家庭的教育比英国人懂礼的多。
哈哈哈、接受英式教育就出贵族？坐井之蛙
@@user-vp5ix8oz7o 哎呀都不重要。。。重要是中国富二代什么我不认识，我只认识绝大部分都是贪图低级的富二代和不停创造病毒的国家

我只能说，我变成周玉琴女士的粉丝了
她是未來 內閣名單上的 首選官員
gek kim is a well brought up lady. no airs at all for her wealth and position.
Great lady. Thank for the interview
主持人的鞋和步態真的無法忍受，也許身邊的被採訪者太完美了。
头发更令人受不了。
超有气质的嘉宾啊 之前一直不认识周玉琴 看完后只有一个感觉：这就是贵族啊！
有钱人家里严格教育培养出来的后代，新加坡出名的女商界精英！
她是未來 內閣名單上的首選官員
Thank you for sharing the interview. I love her statements about "values" and "learning from history."
Very sincere and open programme! Good one!
很想從周女士和這棟洋房好好認識新加坡的歷史背景，可惜主持人令人尷尬，實在不容直視，可惜了這次的採訪機會！
董素华和周玉琴这两个优雅的女人我都很喜欢！小时候在新加坡读书时，一直喜欢看董素华播新闻！她的气质很好
Amazing lady and wonderful interview
What Miss Chew said about people tend to simplify things as good and bad. Usually it's more complex than just that
.
Miss Chew did a wonderful job in answering most of the questions in Mandarin. She's indeed an inspiration! I'm very happy to see such a successful yet down to earth person. All the best to her! 主持人嘛，或许可以减少"ah"的次数，另外，在上楼梯时，或许可以尾随主人，而不是走在主人的前方。主持人要加油!
@@homeofbusymom 有同感，主持人表现令我这个观众感到非常尴尬，尤其是开篇的旧，换成有历史意义的房子可能会更好。 总的来说，访谈很有营养。
they are still in the stone age and dont quite know what is the right manner when being a guest
开始时我也觉得是该让主人先上楼梯，过后想想应该是要配合摄影机角度吧，而且右手边梯级比较阔和有扶手。主持人加油！
@@_manonstreet 你的观点很棒，感谢分享！
周女士真的很和蔼，我喜欢她的谈吐和举止
I love these types of documentaries 🙏 Learn so much from them!
Amazing woman. I can't believe I finished the interview without any skips. Her stories are interesting
周女士好有气质
是啊，主持人太生硬，说话、动作、表情，不会说话“旧房子、旧房子”。与周玉琴比起来太逊色。
主持人不在新加坡长大，不懂装懂
很有同感，作為一個主持人，居然一直稱呼一座受保護的
建築“老房子”汗 好尴尬 好晕這是沒做功課嗎
同感
感觉没什么深度，没气场反应也一般般
中文不好不要做中文訪談的支持人
谢谢，学到了很多
She is really a visionary woman. She had found her role model in her grandfather and life purpose too. She knows how to upgrade different life skills , she knows how to tuned in. Wonderful and intelligent ❤️. Really an inspirational business woman. So substantial! Awesome madam. 💯👍👍🙏🙏
真正的贵族！ 内涵丰富！
气质和修养太好了，一看就是从小富裕家庭出来的
#1 家教 !
很多富裕家庭 亦出了廢物 害人精
我反而覺得主持人厲害的地方在於 懂得如何不搶奪嘉賓的戲份 透過這棟洋房帶大家一窺周玉琴女士的成長過程 而並非一般媒體經常採訪的事業成就等普遍問題 反倒給人一種親切的形象 從小看過很多董素華主持的訪談節目 你才會知道很多時候不是越要問得深度才顯得主持人的功力 而是懂得如何根據受訪者的條件引導採訪 讓受訪者自己說得更多才是最重要的
好漂亮好有气质诶
周玉琴發音很好，很易聽得明白！
大家别羡慕了，一起努力吧~
Thank u. I learned a lot from your interview Ms. Chew.
Learnt so much important values from this interview!
It’s a valuable interview
我觉得是复古 低奢华 的设计理念吧。说话真是一门艺术.
主持人的素养讲话方式很有水平，看似平淡却充满了语言的魅力，被访者的言谈举止透露着从容知性从骨子里散发的魅力
great interview, amazing woman with great personality!!
而且在别人家带着主人走，说了好几次，好，我们去二楼看看。这应该是房子主人说不是作为一个客人来说这句话！
感觉主持人没什么家教
xiaoju zhang 而且她自己不认为自己没有家教
Toto Smallcar 感觉这个主持人不会主持
其实是女主人不知道要做什么 主持人为了避免冷场才建议的
就是如此，我也发现这个细节了，感觉哪怕是采访也该客随主，应该是互动引出主人说的历史，主人带采访让人参观才对，进一步的讲述故事，主持非常生硬死板
氣質真好
Inspiring and lovely to watch. Well done.
A beautiful lady . Thank you .
"we get along well as grandfather and granddaughter, but I'm not sure whether we can work together."
Had every family members in family businesses were given the freedom to choose their path like her, and trained as fierce like her grandfather taught her, (maybe) many families will stay as families and the business will stay as business. My parents forced my brother to be in family business and my father did not want to treat/train him as regular employees because he "loves" him. My brother did not do well in the business and got blamed because of his incompetence. Little did my father know that my brother's incompetence is mainly because of my father's own incompetence in teaching life lesson to my brother with the excuse of "love".
Many parents think that protecting their child from every unpleasant things and make the child happy is the most important thing. Those kids who are raised up like that will have a very miserable adult lives. They have to learn sooner or later but they have to learn eventually. Better learn it from young habits that you cant keep as you grow.
Parents send their children to best schools where exams are hard, but some of them forget to send their children to life school by protecting the children from life hardships.
这洋房不是旧！是年久、古老！哪里是旧！旧是破落、失修。
主持人中文基础都不行
Jason 她是新山人嘛
年久下面接的是失修，矯枉過正，舊比較中性，用老形容即可。
yu zhen chan 对，悠久更恰当！
yu zhen chan 旧即破旧，跟年久一样。
