IF NOT for a chance decision to disembark in Singapore instead of Australia 100 years ago, the late tailor Kwong Fook Wing would have never established his famous shop in Jalan Sultan, ,Kuala Lumpur.

It was a joyous occasion for his grandson Datuk Khong Kim Lyew and his family and friends as they celebrated the shop’s centenary at the Kwong Siew Association along Jalan Tun HS Lee on Oct 3.
