George Tan was born a loser. His coolie father, a gambler and an alcoholic, abused him badly and treated him unfairly. A young George could not understand: Why his brothers wore slippers while he went barefoot? Why they had white socks while he was punished in school for wearing black socks? Why he had to go hungry while others licked ice-cream? Why…

In a neighbourhood ruled by gangsters, George grew up well-acquainted with gambling and the 3V’s: vulgarism, vandalism and violence. But he broke free. From red marks in primary school, George went to university and, at age 27 whilst holding a full-time career, topped his diploma and master’s degree classes with flying colours. He went on to succeed in both career and business.

George’s ascent from the depths of hopelessness leaves a trail of soulprints. His life story – set against major world events that left their imprints on the soul of humanity – is interesting, instructive and inspirational.
