About Me

Jeffrey Cheah is the executive chairman of Malaysia's Sunway group. Over five decades, he transformed his obscure tin-mining company into a group with interests in property, healthcare, education and infrastructure. Sunway Healthcare raised $736 million from its March 2026 IPO. It currently operates five hospitals, with three more in the pipeline. In 2020, Sunway expanded into fintech, acquiring a 51% stake in credit reporting agency Credit Bureau Malaysia. In February 2025, the group announced its plan to build a $578 million mixed-use project, along with Malaysia's state-owned commuter rail operator MTR, near the Singapore border. His daughter, Sarena, and sons, Adrian and Evan, work in the family business.
