Gerry Chua: Baker, entrepreneur, firefighter |
|
Promoting
volunteerism
in business and personal life |
|
By Kendrick Go Mtsj Student
When people talk about hopia,
they usually mean Eng Bee Tin. From its humble beginnings as a small
bakery, Eng Bee Tin has grown to become synonymous with hopia. The
man responsible for this transformation is third-generation
businessman and volunteer firefighter Gerry Chua.
Eng Bee Tin was started by
Gerry’s grandfather, who made it famous until the business fell on
hard times. It was this ailing business that Gerry inherited 24
years ago. Chua recounted that business had gone so bad, he would be
lucky to sell a few pieces per day. But through hard work,
creativity and determination, Chua was able to turn things around
and revive the family business.
