The Eco World Development Group Bhd chairman paid homage to his parents on a special day as he received an Honorary Doctorate of Entrepreneurship from Inti International University. In 1981, he started work as a bank officer before venturing into property development five years later. He also remembered that his parents – a lorry driver and a rubber tapper – were very hardworking but remained poor. “Entrepreneurs are made over time through experience and what you learn in society,” Liew told the students. “My parents, despite being poor, made sure I received my education,” said Liew, who hails from Plentong in Johor Baru.
