Koon Poh Ming is the executive vice chairman of aluminum company Press Metal while his brother Koon Poh Keong is group CEO.
They started Press Metal with their three brothers--Poh Tat, Poh Weng and Poh Kong--in the mid-1980s.
The brothers pooled $50,000 to start the aluminum-extruding company, at a time when Malaysia was in a recession.
Press Metal is Southeast Asia's largest integrated aluminum producer and competes with Rio Tinto, Russia's RUSAL and the Aluminum Corp of China.
Poh Ming and Poh Keong, the two biggest shareholders, made the list of Malaysia's richest for the first time in 2017. Poh Weng joined them in 2019.
