His family is quite rich as his father is the founder of the law firm, Shook Lin & Bok.
He was a lawyer before switching to finance. He became Chairman of Malaysia-Singapore Airlines and Deputy Chairman of Maybank.
He also formed Singapore International Merchant Bankers Limited (SIMBL) and the Malaysian International Merchant Bankers (MIMB) in Malaysia, serving as Chairman and Managing Director of both companies. And then he became Vice-Chairman of the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC).
He only became a judge later after almost 2 decades in finance.
Guess he made quite a bit of money when he was in the finance sector.
