1899: Penubuhan Cycle and Carriage

“In the High Street in Kuala Lumpur in 1899, Chua Cheng Tuan and Chua Cheng Bok sold haberdashery, bicycles, sewing machines, and carriages. This was still the age of the horse-carriages for the rich, gharries for the poor, the bullock cart and the ricksha. They quickly grasped the opportunities offered by the beginning of the motor age. Under Cheng Bok's vigorous leadership Cycle and Carriage opened branches in Ipoh, Penang and Singapore. The author says that Cheng Bok had a remarkable gift for combining sound Chinese business instinct and practice with Western-style management and corporate structure. - Alex Josey” (New Nation, 24 August 1975, Page 32: |"The wheeler- dealers").
