Abstract

Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary never gives interviews. Or at least almost never. ‘This is something of a record, Michael’, he said as we were introduced. ‘This is the first time that I’ve agreed to be seen by anyone for many years. Maybe only once have I given an interview. I think about ten years ago.’ But it wasn’t to be a formal interview. It was to be a ‘chat’. A few months later he met with a journalist from the Far Eastern Economic Review. Syed Mokhtar appeared to be opening up. ‘Why don’t you meet with more journalists so that you can explain who you are and what you’re doing,’ I’d asked. I want to get my businesses in order first, he’d replied. By mid-2003, Syed Mokhtar controlled companies with annual revenues of at least M$12 billion (US$3.16 billion) and employed 32,000 people.1 It was time, he seemed to have decided, to start giving an account of himself.
