THE children of Robert Kuok Hock Nien, Malaysia’s richest man, are positioning themselves to grab a share of the tycoon’s wealth worth HK$300 billion (about RM130 billion), according to Hong Kong’s Next Magazine.

“Kuok Group appears calm on the surface without any squabbles, but a battle for wealth and position is brewing within its HK headquarters,” the Chinese magazine said in its just-released cover story, quoting family friends and fund managers.

This is seen as another classic story of the billionaire who has clearly not identified his successor.

Known for its investigative reports on the scandals of the rich and famous, Next Magazine remarked that though Kuok has “retired” and delegated managerial positions to his children, he has been going to Kerry Group Ltd’s headquarters regularly to deliberate on major decisions.

“Kuok Hock Nien declared his retirement in 1992, but he is still not taking a rest. It is retirement without rest,” observed the magazine, which is feared by wealthy celebrities in Hong Kong.

The magazine noted that Kuok, dubbed “Asia’s Sugar King”, has not named any successor to his sprawling business empire, mainly centred on Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and Singapore.

Ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the world’s top 50 richest men in March, Kuok moved his corporate headquarters to Hong Kong from Kuala Lumpur in 1975, reportedly due to his distaste for the New Economic Policy (1971-1990).

The main listed companies controlled by Kuok are Hong Kong-based Kerry Properties Ltd, Shangri-La (Asia) Ltd and South China Morning Post; Singapore-listed Wilmar International Ltd; and Malaysia-listed PPB Group Bhd.

(On Friday market close, PPB Group Bhd was the top loser on Bursa Malaysia after sliding 50 sen or 3.4% to RM14.08 per share. A local Chinese newspaper attributed this to the Next Magazine’s story. At noon today, it gained two sen to RM14.10.)

It is known that Kuok remarried after the death of his first wife. Among
