90 and still going strong: Family-run construction firm Woh Hup
by Yasmine Yahya
FEB 6, 2017, 5:00 AM SGT
It is certainly no easy feat to keep a company running for nearly a century.
As any veteran businessman will tell you, it takes a mix of prudence, grit and a certain degree of risk- taking.
In the case of construction firm Woh Hup, it seems integrity - towards clients, employees and society - is another secret ingredient.
The privately held family business, which celebrates its 90th anniversary today, is behind some prominent features of Singapore's physical landscape, including Clifford Pier, Changi Prison and MacDonald House, but it largely keeps a low profile.
Quite remarkable for a group that boasts a staff strength of some 2,500 employees and generated revenue of about $900 million last year.

We work hard and we build with integrity. If you do a project well, people will come back and ask you to do another.
MR EUGENE YONG, Woh Hup executive director, on what makes a business thrive.
