Since he was in school, he saved every sen he received from his parents and from what he earned helping his father in his construction business and later from his job as a clerk.“My family was not rich. I saved every little sum of money I earned as well as whatever my parents gave me and I ended up with RM80,000 in savings,” he said in an interview with the Star at Naza World last year.Always being interested in cars he said what he father did was a total opposite from what he loved. “My father’s construction business was not my cup of tea,” the Negeri Sembilan born businessman said.Naza Group currently holds the nation franchise for South Korea's Kia vehicles, and France's Peugeot vehicles.
