Elsie Chua wears her favourite piece, the mystic knot in 18K white gold set with diamonds
& Property Developer Elsie Chua is the Executive Chairman of Plenitude Berhad, an investment holding company that has 17-wholly owned subsidiaries within the Group. T eir core business is property development, but Plenitude Berhad also owns and runs a beach hotel, Tanjung Bunga Beach Hotel in Penang. Tough as nails with nerves of steel, this charismatic lady oversees the entire operations of the Group and is responsible for both the formulation and implementation of all the company’s policies and strategies. On wearing jewellery, Elsie says, “Good jewellery achieves two things; it adds a feminine accent to the hard lines of corporate powersuits… but jewellery can also add power and authority to the wearer and in this role, jewellery can intimidate in the nicest, most indirect way.” On luck, she says, “Never underestimate the importance of luck. You may be clever, strategic, smart… but success comes when you have all that plus a little bit of good luck on your side.”
DATIN ANNIE CHIN
Women’s Rights Philanthropist This very lovely lady epitomizes the ideal humanitarian, using her position in high society to champion women’s rights. She does not just talk about it, she is hands-on and directly involved, actively fundraising for the Women’s Center for Change in Penang, which helps women and children facing crisis irrespective of race, religion or social background. “You might not be able to help everyone,” says Datin Annie, “but even if you can help just one person, it is worth it.” She helps not just one, but many, and her work serves as an incredible inspiration to others, and sends a much greater and far-reaching message than even she herself realizes. She believes that women should learn to love themselves for who they are, not just as supporting roles in society. “Gender equality is important. And I am helping these women gain this self respect that everyone deserves.”
Lillian is a great admirer and supporter of Datin Annie’s causes, so it is not surprising that the lady is also a fan of Lillian’s pieces.
