Hong Kong - It all started with a stroll in a virgin highland jungle 5,900 feet above sea level 43 years ago for Lim Goh Tong. On that site, he built his first casino and resort, modeled on the hill stations constructed by British expatriates who could not stand the tropical heat of their Asian colonies. From that resort, Genting Highlands, Lim built a vast gaming and tourism empire, the Genting Group, the largest company of its kind in Southeast Asia.
