Few tycoon in Malaysia marriage a Miss Malaysia. People might be curious about their love story! How they started?
A Malaysia gossip weekly magazine, Special Weekly specifically feature their love story recently.
Malaysia familiar with story of Tan Sri Khoo Kay Peng, an ex-banker who used MUI group to acquired a cement plant ( now Lafarge) and a hotel chain (Now Corus Hotel) to form a conglomerate.
However, recent Special Weekly reported that actually Tan Sri Khoo Kay Peng has a rich father. He inherited MUI ( a toothpaste manufacturing plant then) from his late father.
His late father have a second wife, who has a daughter then. This mean Pauline Chai is step sister of Tan Sri Khoo Kay Peng and they grow up together since young age.
However, Pauline Chai is second wife of Tan Sri Khoo Kay Peng. Tan Sri Khoo have a first wife and he divorce his first wife to marriage his step sister, Pauline Chai.
Pauline chai contest in Miss Malaysia pageant 1969 and won. During media interview, media ask what is her ideal husband criteria. She reply that, if I want to marriage, I hope to marriage a man like my brother. When media reported the interview the next day. Tan Sri Khoo read it and realise her step sister actually admirer him secretly. He get touch and decided to marriage his step sister.
Christian forbid divorce and second marriage. It is not sure whether the couple baptized before or after their marriage.
Children get bully in Australia
One of the reason Tan Sri Khoo move his family from Australia to Canada because his children get bully in Australia. This is similar to what happen to Taiwan base Malaysian chinese singer Gary Chaw 曹格. Gary Chaw reveal in a radio (988) interview that his parent send him to Australia at very young age. He face racial discrimination and bully by white children in Australia's school. This seem happen regardless of whether you are rich or poor. It seem Gary Chaw do not have rich father that able to move him to Canada. Thus, he have to fight his case on his own with other schoolmate from asia. He have to fight them first, let them know that he cannot easily get bully, then he negotiate with them. Ask them whether they want to become enemy or friend with him. He suggest that it can only be Win win if they become friends rather than become enemy as they cannot avoid seeing each other everyday. Eventually, Gary Chaw become friends with his schoolmate.
It seem poor people without rich father able to face the challenge better than rich people, who give up and run away when problem arise. It doesn't mean a person have more advantage if you have a rich father. Gary Chaw, who become famous in China on TV reality show " Where are we going, Dad?"爸爸去哪兒 said he would never send his children overseas at young age alone, unless he went together to protect them
However, people who went to UK boarding school like Air Asia's founder Tony Fernandes seem do not encounter such problem. Tony Fernandes even want to bring Epsom College to Malaysia.
Daughter support wife
His daughter Angeline Francis appear on court and and said she support her mother Pauline Chai to divorce her father. I think she has right to support anyone as she gave a valid reason. However, what people curious and gossip is why she support the divorce case to be hear in UK but not in Malaysia? Shouldn't a divorce proceeding able to be expedite in Malaysia then in UK, if she claim her mother in a miserable marriage and desperately want to out of this marriage?
