		Francis Yeoh claims to be "abdicating responsibility for the first time in 10 years" as we sit down for our supposedly private chat in a Georgian anteroom of the Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath.
		Yeoh may not be an Oxbridge graduate, but he is at least as sophisticated as your average billionaire and he should probably know that the media throngs with Oxbridge graduates - 10-a-penny types who will struggle to be mere millionaires on the back of their London terraced houses.
		Yeoh tends to a business that spans three continents, has a market capitalisation of some £5bn, and boasts a compound growth rate of 42 per cent (earnings per share adjusted for bonus and rights issues) since 1986.

		Yeoh also said ''timing was everything in implementing the measures, where people who were once doubtful were now rational as they could see the results.
		''We have done much more, comparatively, more so since we were accused of being mavericks for not following stifling International Monetary Fund-style policies,'' said Yeoh, who is managing director of YTL Corporation Bhd.
		Touching on a wide range of issues on the economy and its growth prospects in an interview with Bernama, he also said Malaysia is ahead of even Japan in addressing non-performing loans (NPLs).

		Yeoh is an ethnic Chinese and a born-again Christian in a predominantly Muslim country.
		Yeoh says Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore alone would require an extra 4,000 MW a year, "almost half of China's growth." The Malaysian government has agreed in principle to grant YTL a license to supply electricity to Singapore through a proposed 500-MW gas-fired plant in Johor state near the Lion City.
		Yeoh's regional plans suffered a setback in October when he failed to pull off a $2.6-billion deal that would have given YTL 80% of Gordon Wu's Hong Kong-based Consolidated Electric Power Asia (CEPA) -- and would have turned the Malaysian company into Asia's largest independent power producer.

		Francis Yeoh, managing director YTL Corporation, said: "Although we have hosted many international stars such as Pavarotti and Carreras at our annual Concert of Celebrations before, it is a great honour to bring the Three Tenors to Bath.
		The concert was performed as a result of a friendship struck between Luciano Pavarotti and Mr Yeoh after they met on the Malaysian island of Pangkor Laut.
		It was free to people living within the Wessex Water area but was expected to raise more than £20,000 for WaterAid alone in donations and proceeds from the sales of programmes.

		At 46 now, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh makes no hesitation in investing RM25 million of his listed infrastructure company YTL Corporation into the construction of a performing arts centre that will eventually feed everyone more beautiful music.
		To Yeoh, opera is a metaphor for life; it deals with passion and sins, presenting the conflicts that appear sometimes between a man’s duties and his passion for his country, or a woman.
		Yeoh claims he expects no commercial benefits from his investment: he just wanted to allow artists to thrive.

	Guardian Unlimited Columnists Is there more than one Cherie Blair?
		No reason, except that Yeoh's business thinking is not yet universally applied, with the result that some people are asking, with even more intensity than they asked last week, if Mrs Blair has taken leave of her senses.
		And Yeoh has shown us that it is quite possible for a Christian to reconcile piety and the acquisition of incalculable wealth.
		Or, at least, that large part of the Malaysian economy that belongs to Yeoh's YTL conglomerate, where the guiding philosophy is: "World Class Products and Services at Third World Prices"?

		Before the financial crisis of 1997, many wondered whether Francis Yeoh was a good businessman or just had good connections.
		Yeoh started building up his portfolio in 1997, when overleveraged Malaysian investors sold YTL a Marriott luxury hotel and two upmarket shopping centers at the bargain-basement price of $85 million.
		But when the Asian crisis hit, it was Yeoh's safe-and-smart business sense that made him stand out from the crowd.
