Our Milestones

1930s

- In the 1930s, Mr Li Jian Lu, set up Teck Leong with his business partners to trade, buy and sell ferrous and non-ferrous metals in Singapore. In the picture above dated 1939, Mr Li is seen with a bunch of keys hanging from his belt. In the past, keys are seen as a status symbols to denote one’s economic and social status as only the office bearer or ‘Towkay’ would own and hold a set of keys to the office premises.
