His grandfather was the late Chew Boon Juan, one of the richest men in Malaysia before the war. There is a road named after him in Ipoh today. In his lifetime, he took on four wives who bore him six sons and 10 daughters. Many of his sons went on to become successful businessmen. The family’s fame and wealth soon attracted the attention of the greedy Japanese.
Fortunately, Ignatius’ grandmother was a shrewd woman. She had the foresight to hide her big box of expensive jewellery in a well, owned by a trusted family friend, before the Japanese invasion. The well was located opposite the True Jesus Church today at nearby Jalan Voon Thean Soo in Ipoh. The area has since been developed into a new housing estate in the 1970s.Secretly, Ignatius’ family took out the box from the well and passed some jewellery to the Japanese captain.
Initially, Japanese cars were considered inferior compared to Western models. However, within a short time, Japanese cars soon proved to be more reliable and economical than Western models. This helped the Ban Hoe Seng company of the Chew family to become one of the fastest growing auto companies in the country.
