"Never Say I Assume!"Tan Chin Nam陳振南《永远不要随意假设》


内容简介

《永远不要随意假设》讲述的是一个马来西亚人的生平故事。他是一个企业家,同时还足一个运动员、作家。他擅长讲故事,他希望,如果自己“能起到什么作用的话”,那就是帮助读者“取得我所取得的成功,避免我所犯下的过错”。
但是,事实上,他起到的作用远远不止这些。他栩栩如生地再现了老马来亚的风貌,勾画了那个世界里的自己。他描绘了20世纪30年代的大萧条,以及他的家族“从巨富到赤贫”的历程,生动地再现了二战日本占领期间的历史,并细腻地勾画了他所熟知的一些伟人。
陈振南由一个华人商贩发展成为马来西亚现代企业家的经过,从他的人格和成就角度说,象征着马来西亚在过去的80年里,从一个封建殖民社会发展成为如今的多民族现代化国家的成功历程。

The principal owner for one of Australia's most successful horse trainers, Bart Cummings, Tan has had a successful working relationship with Cummings for more than thirty years.

He owns at least a share in most of Cummings's well known horses including Think Big, winner of back-to-back Melbourne Cups in 1974 and 1975, as well as the multiple Group One winner, Saintly.[4]

Tan owns a stud farm located along the Wingecarribee River at Burradoo, New South Wales that he named Think Big Stud.

The Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley Racecourse in Melbourne is named in his honor.

Tan is retired, leaving his multi-billion business to a new generation. He is the owner of the 2008 Melbourne Cup winner Viewed[5] (now deceased) and 2009 Crown Oaks winner, Faint Perfume.
