no one talk about UOB? why ppl talk more on DBS and OCBC??
Yes, HP, UOL, UIC-SLand all controlled by him. Anything else? For UOB, the inorganic growth probably started with the M& A of Chung Khiaw (think around 1971). Subsequently, Far Eastern Bank, Lee Wah Bank, Industrial & Commercial Bank n OUB were brought together under its stable. So, that' s Botak the empire builder, probably still going strong at 86.

Agreed.
Look at oveaseas, in HK, the Li KS family is another family empire.
in Malaysia the sugar King business empire too.
So dont blindly follow people to say that good business governance must be from outsiders.

UOB is gaining strength to head higher.

Actually, I don' t share the view that for family controlled conglomerates shd make way for ' outside professionals' . Some family controlled coys are at the forefront of the competition. Take the three local banks for example. This botak case to me is a good example. The other one that easily comes to mind is the Hong Leong empire across Malaysia, Spore n globally ..... solid.

Made of Botaks. That matters, doesn' t it. two generations of botak from same family - better control, less conflict, perhaps. Althought OCBC also familee controlled, top management more outsiders.

The best of the 3.....at last, this one shows what it's made of?
Old man already spend $2m....if down he will sure to buy somemore.
Everyday UOB got sharebuy back...no break yet
The wily old man himself who over four decades pounced on opportunities to acquired five banks (I think) to build UOB to its present solid position today.

Apart from the buybacks, maybe botak himself is waiting for the cks to strangle the shares further before showing his hand to scoop up some more for himself.
