However there was nothing much I am able to extract from them. It was only the common sharing they gave which was their savings that they have invested in their current business. I have personally met 3 individuals where two of them are involved in property business and the other one focusing on grocery stores.
All three of them having the common background where they used to have worked in Singapore and able to secure some savings to be invested into their business. There isn’t much I could relate their business growth versus organizations development that is said in the literature. Then I decided to do internet research about successful business entrepreneurs in Malaysia. To name one of them is Tan Sir SMS Musician SMS Main the Founder, Chairman and CEO for Anza Group of Malaysia. Born in 1955, Musician was always interested in cars and the automobile industry. He received his early education from Seakale Render Tune Murrain (1961-1966).
He then studied at Seakale Meghan Thanks Muhammad (1967-1972). Both schools are located in Koala Pilaf, Negro Assemble. In 1974, when he was 19, he had ARMS,OHO in his bank account which he saved from his remunerations from helping out his contractor father. He started his automobile business with an allocation of Approved Permits (APs) to import foreign cars. APS are government-issued permits to import cars for bumptious. He made his first million in about a year. The next figure I was studying about was Tan Sir Anthony Francis “Tony” Fernando born on 30 April 1964 is a Malaysian entrepreneur. He is the founder of rune Air Sad.
Bad. Ho introduced the first budget no-frills airline, Air Asia, to Malaysian with the tagging “Now everyone can fly”. Fernando managed to turn Air Asia, a failing government-linked commercial airline, into a highly successful budget airline public-listed company. He has since founded the Tune Group of companies. He was also instrumental in lobbying the then-Malaysian Prime Minister, Tune Dry. Mathis Mohammad in mid-2003, to propose the idea of open skies agreements with neighboring Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore. As a result, these nations have granted landing rights to Air Asia and other discount carriers.
Instead of starting from scratch, Mathis advised Fernando to buy an existing airline instead. Air Asia, the heavily-indebted subsidiary of the Malaysian government-owned conglomerate, DRY-Which, was quickly losing money. Fernando mortgaged his home and used his personal savings to acquire the company, comprising two ageing Boeing 737-300 Jets (MM-AAA and MM-ABA) and IIS$II million (ARMS million) worth of debts, and transformed it into an industry player. One year after his takeover, Air Asia had broken even and cleared all its debts. Its initial public offering (PIP) in November 004 was oversubscribed by 130 per cent.
In many articles of Tony Fernando, there isn’t any information that could help me to understand the different sources of financing done by him for business expansion purpose and the only available Then I realize I have a friend who is fit to take as an example on the sequential development as part of this assignment.
