Chia Siwe Ling, 65, went into apprenticeship with a Bak Kut Teh sifu in Klang when his joss-stick factory burnt down 31-years-ago and he did not give up.

The apprenticeship was only two weeks but this was enough for Chia to pursue and turn it into a thriving business till today.

Now, he is proud that in Kluang, his Bak Kut Teh shop is one of the favourites not only amongst the locals but to those as far as from Singapore.

His children runs the business now and he chips in on Sundays when they are shorthanded due to the overwhelming response.
