DAILY REFLECTION

“but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”
Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭

In a world captivated by instant results and short-term gains, true leadership calls for something deeper - a faith-rooted compass that guides decisions with integrity and anchors vision in eternal purpose.

On 7 July 2025, YTL Corporation marks its 70th anniversary - a moment of celebration, reflection, and transition. Under the leadership of its Executive Chairman Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, YTL has grown 25,000% since its listing. But beyond the numbers lies a greater testimony: a life and legacy shaped by faith in Jesus Christ. Tan Sri Francis has never shied away from acknowledging the source of his strength. His journey reflects the truth of Psalm 1 - that the one who delights in the law of the Lord is like a tree planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in season. His leadership has been marked by perseverance, humility, and a long-term vision rooted in stewardship, not self-interest. As YTL enters a new chapter, his message to the next generation is both timely and timeless: Build not just for profit, but for posterity. Lead not just with ambition, but with conviction. Pursue not just success, but significance. Tan Sri Francis’s life is a testament to God's unwavering favor, radiating spiritual vitality, purpose, and abundant blessings.

Psalm 1:2-3 speaks to the heart of a life well-lived:  when we make God's Word our constant companion, a source of strength and guidance, our lives blossom - stable, growing, and bearing the fruit of a life lived fully.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)
