UNDERSTATED AND BELOW THE RADAR....THEY GREW AND GREW AND GREW
Today, Dr. Tan Siu Lin and his family, celebrated 35 years of doing business on Guam.
They've got tons of money and influence but you would never know it. The father of the Tan clan quietly spoke at the library at UOG which will now house a statue for the man's success and generosity to the school. Today, he gave the school $1M dollars. A big deal was made of his donation because of its amount.....but truth be told, the Tan clan are quite generous with this community, giving many times with no fan fare. They are known locally for their generosity...perhaps what most don't know is that the Tan children grew up on Guam and attended the University of Guam....and loved the island(and Saipan) enough to stay.
L&T Guam Corporation began its entity in 1972...the last company purchased is that of Dickerson and Quinn during this year. They're in insurance, in fish, in the movies, into entertaining children, into import and exports, travel agency, aviation, realty and other big companies that they are investors in such as TakeCare Health Systems...
So as we say a warm Hafa Adai to the newest company to open on Guam, we say a heartfelt thank you to the Tans for their efforts to make life here a better place to be. With all the companies listed in a flier, this low key and understated company didn't brag about how many people they employ.....
So then.....Congratulations Dr. Tan Siu Lin, on your many successes and for chosing Guam for the best of your companies....and for that wonderful donation to those seeking a good education at UOG.
Xie Xie!
