Anthoni lost his mother Kim Kin Neo in March this year, when she passed away at the age of 91. No youngster himself anymore, Anthoni continues to set a trail as a world-class businessman and entrepreneur.
He is currently seeking to partner with Korea’s Lotte Group to launch an e-commerce portal in 2017, with Salim’s 11,000 Indomaret minimart outlets likely to play a central role in the company’s e-commerce strategy.
According to Malaysia’s Star Online, Anthoni has also acquired a substantial stake in Cab Cakaran Corp. Bhd. (CAP), an integrated poultry producer and franchise holder of the Kyros Kebab restaurant chain.
In Indonesia, Salim operates palm oil plantations and palm oil mills, sugar plantations, flour mills, and is a producer of packaged goods led by its instant noodle brands, which now have a presence as far away as Africa and the Middle East.
