| Summary: | The 1960s to 1980s was an important transition in Singapore’s business history. The creation of a new economy and political system signalled a significant shift in the business environment.

This paper aims to study the experience of Mr. Chua Poh Tiong as a case study to understand how traditionalist Chinese businessmen and Chinese enterprise responded to the changes in the business environment in locally and regionally during this period. |
