In the 1990s, a time when multinationals reigned supreme, Edmund Tie did the unthinkable when he walked out of his job at a big MNC to start his own real estate consulting firm. The market gave his firm six months to survive, but he defied the odds, creating a brand that endured and grew beyond Singapore's shores. But his business smarts are just one facet of the Edmund Tie story; what he truly stands out for are his big heart and his philanthropic work. From his care for his mother to his charity work, his contributions have gone a long way to build a society that protects the underprivileged.
The story of Edmund Tie is the story of a renaissance man, one who has the big heart of a unique human being and the mind of a strategic and brilliant real estate whiz. This book captures in its pages the story of how his deep-rooted sense of empathy came to be, starting from his childhood years and going on to show how his experiences shaped his care for the vulnerable and his dedication to social responsibility.
