‘I cannot stay at home,’ said the self-made billionaire told CNBC. ‘(I’d get) very, very bored.’

‘Every day, I write down all my activities in my diary, everything,’ said Chang. ‘Every department comes to see me.’

Chang, now worth $1.9billion, set up PIL in Singapore in the 1960s after buying two-second hand container ships.

And over the decades he has watched it blossom into one of the world’s ninth-biggest shipping company with a workforce of nearly 20,000 employees.  But the veteran entrepreneur claims there is a very simple secret to his success.

‘I never lose my temper,’ he said. ‘(I) cannot. When you lose your temper, you just cannot control yourself.’ 

Chang’s son, Teo Siong Seng, the company’s new director, says he also has daily meetings with his father who still likes to keep an eye on him.

Teo also says he has learned his father’s philosophy of gaining respect by proving your ability and integrity in front of employees.
