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.

“The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.”
