DAILY REFLECTION
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:”
Ecclesiastes 4:9
Companionship is a source of strength, encouragement, and practical support. It empowers us to face life’s challenges and pursue purpose with resilience and hope.
The story of TA Group is a powerful reflection of this truth. Founded in the 1990s by Datuk Tony and Datin Alicia Tiah as a stockbroking firm, TA has grown into a multifaceted financial conglomerate with ventures in asset management, property development, and the luxury hospitality brand Paradox. At the heart of this success is a unique partnership marked by shared vision, and complementary strengths that produced exceptional results.Their leadership prioritises excellence, employee well-being, innovation, and sustainability. Yet beyond the corporate achievements lies a deeper foundation: a life rooted in faith. The Tiahs serve God wholeheartedly and exemplify biblical principles that guide their decisions and character—choosing love over ambition, releasing the past, embracing identity in Christ, receiving forgiveness, and relying on divine grace through trials. Their journey is a testimony of living righteously, growing purposefully, and placing unwavering hope in God.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 reminds us of the transformative power of godly relationships. When we walk together in purpose - spirit-led, united, and committed, we not only share life’s burden more easily, but we also multiply our impact and magnify hope.
“A faithful friend is the medicine of life.”
