CIMB Corporate Day 2012

JAN 5 2012 –

Upcoming Face Reader and author of Faces of Fortune: The 20 Tycoons To Bet On Over The Next 10 Years, Tee Lin Say unveiled the top five Premier’s in ASEAN based on their facial features to a crowd of 450 fund managers during CIMB Bank Bhd’s 2012 Corporate Day themed: ‘The Will To Transform’.

The top 5 Premiers in ASEAN based on their face ranking are:

1.       Singapore’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong

2.       Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak

3.       Philippines President, Benigno Aquino III

4.       Indonesia’s Prime Minister, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono

5.       Thailand’s Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra

It was a very lively session that saw the crowd constantly in laughter when Tee interacted with the crowd to describe what a rich man looks like.

In one instance, she poked fun at men with overly big noses, saying that such men only had their wives thinking they were clever, while everyone else did not. 

The crowd again burst into laughter when Tee said that women with overly big mouths drove their husbands to bankruptcy by eating too much. 

In picking the Top 5 Premiers of ASEAN, Tee said she looked out for certain features that were crucial for a Premier to execute policies as well as being compassionate and inspiring.

“We are not looking for the face of a tycoon, or a Mother Theresa or a face of a beauty queen. We want somebody who is clever, trustable, compassionate and has the support of his staff to help him execute his policies,” said Tee.

She said that it was extremely hard to find fault with Singapore Premier’s face Lee Hsien Loong’s face.

“That is one iconic face. The eyes are alive and extremely spirited. There is both academic intelligence and romantic creativity in his face. During an economic downturn, he is the best person to drive the economy towards a soft landing. When the economy recovers, he will be the first person to engage into first gear. Singapore will do well,” she said. 

Tee likes Najib’s face because at his current Chinese age of 61, right up to 67, these age points are in his lower lips. 

“Najib’s best feature is his lower lip, and his age points are all here now and for the next 6 years. In fact he will shine brighter at 66 and 67, when the age point goes to his lip edges,”

Long lip edges shows that Najib is a good negotiator and gets the better side of the bargain. He will be able to get his way, and his policies are likely to bear fruit. 

Meanwhile the Philippines President, Benigno has the best face to counter corruption. 

“The lips are balanced and thick. The head is also longer rather than wider. This is a person who is magnanimous and very altruistic. He is a very suitable person to resolve the corruption problem in Philippines,’ said Tee. 

As for Bambang’s face, Tee says that it is overall a great face with lots of respectability and nobility. Bambang is obviously well liked by the people. However the eye qi is slightly weakened, indicating that if great opportunities were to come to Indonesia, Bambang may not be in the greatest place to capitalize on it. 

Yingluck takes 5^th place mainly because of the low forehead and sharp chin. A low forehead is an extremely good feature for an executor, but not so ideal for a Prime Minister who needs to generate the new policies and innovative ideas. The sharp chin also indicates occasional bouts of indecisiveness.

“She’s definitely a beautiful women and has a good face in terms of wealth and prosperity. However, in fulfilling the criterias of a Prime Minister, there are a few features which are lacking,” said Tee.
