Global Malaysians - South Africa

Many Malaysians have been successful in their adopted countries/current residential country be it in their occupations or business ventures.

Today we will go to the African continent where Mr. Wan Abdullah Wan Salleh has been residing in South Africa for the last 12 years (he hails from Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia). To earn a living, he has played for bands to being a cook in a catering company and also worked as a clearing agent in a trading business.

Mr. Wan Abdullah now owns a company called WGS Africa (established in 1994) which deals in semi-precious gemstone with his shop being located in Sandton, on the outskirt of Johannesburg. His shop makes beautiful decorative items out of polished and colourful gemstones. Mr. Wan Abdullah said his factory is one of only two in South Africa producing gemstone souvenirs; four other producers have since closed down. His company's monthly revenue is between Rand80,000 and Rand100,000 (RM33,000 and RM42,000).

Syabas Mr. Wan!
