Wall Street Journal: Who gave you the best business advice?
Lillian Too: Quek Leng Chan, the head of the Hong Leong Group, of course. He said that in business there are no friends and there are no enemies and one must not become emotional. I remember on one occasion when I disagreed with him over something and I told him I was prepared to resign over this. He told me straight off not to be dramatic. I still remember his words:
“We are not a political party, we are a business.”
