2021 Asian Gaming Power 50: Number 28 – Lim Keong Hui

DEPUTY CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Genting Berhad

DEPUTY CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Genting Malaysia

POWER SCORE: 854
POSITION LAST YEAR: 30

CLAIMS TO FAME

  • Heir apparent to his father Lim Kok Thay to head Genting Group, founded by his grandfather, Lim Goh Tong
  • Owner of Zouk nightclub brand with clubs in Malaysia, Singapore and Las Vegas

GENTING GROUP PATRIARCH Lim Kok Thay has made no secret of the fact that he plans to hand control of the company to his three sons when the time comes.

The wealthy trio are already actively involved in the business, with the youngest, Lim Keong Loui, Executive Vice President at Genting Cruise Lines and middle child Lim Keong Han overseeing theme parks. But it is eldest son Lim Keong Hui who appears to be central to his father’s long-term vision.

At just 37 years of age, Keong Hui is Deputy CEO and Executive Director of Genting’s two core entities – Genting Berhad and Genting Malaysia. He was, until August last year, also Deputy CEO of Genting Hong Kong but stepped down after the cruise ship giant hit troubled waters. Perhaps the prospect of guiding the company out of more than US$3 billion in debt was just a bit too much for someone of his tender years to take on.

Then again, it didn’t seem to slow his ambition. Shortly after stepping down from Genting Hong Kong, Keong Hui bought nightclub brand Zouk from his former company and has already expanded its reach to Resorts World Las Vegas, which his father opened in June of this year. Don’t be surprised to see more such pursuits in the future given Genting’s interests in New York and Miami.

Perhaps a brief stint at investment bank HSBC, completed before joining the family business, has served Keong Hui well. And he certainly appears to bring good pedigree, having earned a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree in Computer Science from the Queen Mary University of London and a Master’s Degree in International Marketing Management from Regent’s Business School.
