at Danga City Mall.
Tee also analyses 20 of Asia’s most prominent tycoons to help readers get an idea on which are the most profitable stocks to invest in, in the following years.
She explained that her interest in the Chinese art of face reading or ‘mian xiang’ triggered her to take lessons from Feng Shui expert Joey Yap to go in-depth into learning about the art.
“As a business journalist, I am constantly in touch with businessmen and tycoons all over Asia, that coupled with my face reading hobby, merging the two together for my book was a natural process,” she said during the Johor Baru launch here recently.
She said that face-reading began from Song Dynasty where the emperor used the art to recruit officials.
“Back in the days, there were no resumes so the emperor used the art to read faces and pick the best candidates based on their features, which reflects a person’s characteristics,” she added.
In the book, Tee analyses faces of leading tycoons including Tune Asia Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandez, YTL Group managing director Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, CIMB group chief executive Datuk Seri Nazir Razak and SP Setia Group president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin.
“I picked 20 tycoons who have excellent Mian Xiang for my books and features to look at are the eye brows, nose, ear lobes, chin and cheeks,” she said.
The book, retailing at RM38, is now on sale at major bookshops throughout the country.
The function was also attended by state International Trade and Industry exco Tan Kok Hong, who said that the book was a good investment for those looking to invest in stocks and shares.
