In my opinion, Wilmar has one of the best AGMs around. Held at the prestigious Shangri La hotel, the variety of food at their lunch buffet always packs quite a punch. But then again, that’s not what we are really here for (except for some AGM junkies who only go for the free lunches).

I love Wilmar’s AGM because it’s always very insightful and the company usually holds its Investors’ Day straight after the AGM where shareholders can stay back to ask questions and find out more about Wilmar’s business and next stage of growth.

I am always fascinated by how brilliant Chairman Kuok Khoon Hong is – especially his foresight and extraordinary business acumen. According to Forbes, Mr Kuok is among the top 10 richest people in Singapore, so maybe, just maybe… by being here I can get to have some of his “wealth energy” rub off on me.
