Business Success
A not commonly known fact that may explain Yeang's success as a professional architect and his ability to maintain a pole position as an innovative leading ecodesigner is his business acumen acquired from his attendance in his early years of courses in business management at the Malaysian Institute of Management and the Singapore Institute of Management, and a short course at Harvard Business School. Upon his mother's untimely demise in 2002, she made him in her will the Trustee and CEO of the family's property holding, investment and development company, The Yeangs Sdn. Bhd., which he continues to successfully run and grow in tandem with his architect firm. Yeang had also served as a Board member of the MBf Unit Trust and the PAM Education Fund. His CPD lectures on 'business strategies' at the Malaysian Institute of Architects and Singapore Institute of Architects are popularly attended.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or success:
“The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. One’s stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
