Like a typical entrepreneur with an abundance of energy, Sam Goi Seng Hui likes to get his hands in different businesses. While his flagship Tee Yih Jia is a privately-held food manufacturer, Goi also has substantial stakes in a slew of listed companies from different industries.
These include stakes of 24.05% in cocoa supplier JB Foods; 25.23% in foodstuffs trader Envictus International Holdings. He also holds 13.7% of Serial System, which distributes electronics parts, as well as a 21.8% stake in Union Steel Holdings.
