    Assalammualaikum and a very good morning to our English teacher , Mdm Maya Hafizza and my fellow friends .

    Today I will present my idol , That is , Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al Bukhary . I choose him as my idol because he is a a successful business man. Who knows , a mid-low class Malay family can be a successful business man . Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary or his full name , Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Shah bin Syed Nor Al-Bukhary , his first cry is on 20 April 1951 in Alor Star, ,Kedah . He attended high school at Saint Michael Alor Star. Syed Mokhtar al Bukhary had to step into the working world in his early life, while pursuing his primary and secondary studies. Syed Mokhtar helped his mother planting and selling vegetables in the market and also selling roti canai. His numeric knowledge was used to help his father in doing daily book keeping. After finishing school, Syed Mokhtar helped his father in breeding cow business but only to see the business washed away by foot and mouth disease. Nevertheless, he took over the business and start over by selling meats. He then move on to packaging the meats and start selling them wholesale. His determination paid off and the business started to take off. Syed Mokhtar started his business in Kedah in the 1990s dealing in rice . As his determination starting to skyrocket, he quickly moved to expand into diversification of other businesses. His next big move was in the logistics business, with initial goal to transport their trading materials. Today, his business empire has grown into areas such as plantation, property development, construction, engineering, power generation, infrastructure and ports. His philanthropic values were nurtured from the age of 23 when he started a small business dealing in rice. When he received his first monthly income of RM1,500, his mother had told him to donate half of it to the poor.From 1996 to 2006, his foundation has contributed almost RM1bil to charity, although his total income is probably in multiples of that figure.He has humanitarian projects in Asia and Africa, including rebuilding the lives of Afghan refugees, Pakistan's ear's tsunami victims and is now working to establish an AIDS hospital in Uganda.[citation neededAmong the foundation's initiatives are the Albukhary Tuition Programme for poor underachievers and the Albukhary Scholarship Programme for poor high achievers. On 10 January 2008 or 1st Muharram 1429 Hijra he was announced and awarded as "Tokoh Ma'al Hijrah" by The Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia in recognition of his contribution to nation building So thats all from me today . And I hope can be a successful business man . Thank You
