for those who didn't saw what I typed on Friday night
This was from MM Lee's book
Back in the 1960s, Guinness originally wanted to set up their
brewery in Jurong. But the M'sian financial minister, MCA's chief
Tan Siew Sin said he would not allow those stout to enter M'sia,
hence Guinness was forced to withdraw e Jurong plan for KL.
But we countered back later on by barring all those M'sian made
Guinness stout. Probably that was how S'pore based Malayan
Brewery and Guinness started their partnership before e formal
merger in 1989.
Sadly it was reportedly that Dr Goh Keng Swee's mum was from e
same family as that MCA chief at that time.
