Malaysia richest man Robert Kuok is Hock chew. Not Cantonese

[ginfreely]

Kuok was born on 6 October 1923,[7] in Johor Bahru to a Malaysian Chinese family. Kuok's father Kuok Keng Kang arrived in Malaya from Fuzhou, China, at the beginning of the 20th century, and Robert was the youngest of three brothers born to Kuok Keng Kang and Robert's mother Zheng Ge Ru. He grew up speaking his parents' Fuzhou dialect, English and Japanese during Japan's wartime occupation of Malaya. He studied at Raffles Institution(where he was classmates with Lee Kuan Yew)[12] and English College Johore Bahru.
