Ain't No Mountain High Enough

In the life of Datuk Susan Wong – Managing Director of property developer Mega Sunwise and President of the Sabah Housing and Real Estate Developers Association – trials and tribulations are just steps in her ascent to the top. Her lofty standing today in the Sabahan society owes as much to her unyielding grit as it does to her humility in seeking solutions. In an exclusive interview in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, she tells Kenneth Tan the story of how a 22-year-old fresh graduate rose to become one of Sabah’s foremost property magnates.

In the great debate about leadership, the contention has always been about whether leaders are born or made. The life and times of Datuk Susan Wong have been both of the above. In 1978, as a wide-eyed 22-year-old, fresh from receiving her degree in Economics and Business Administration from Canada’s University of Toronto, Wong was thrust into the life of a property developer by virtue of circumstances.
