Sudono Salim and Sukanto Tanoto – Two Indonesian Business Leaders

Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs in Indonesia have achieved significant success by devoting themselves to hard work, wise planning, and continued learning. The late Sudono Salim, also known as Liem Sioe Liong, was one such pioneering individual, and Sukanto Tanoto carries on his legacy of leadership and innovation into the present day. Sudono Salim headed the Salim Group before turning over the reigns to his son in the early 1990s. Sukanto Tanoto continues to head the $15 billion RGE Group of companies he established more than 40 years ago, even as he prepares his own young adult children to assume major roles in its leadership.

In the biography Liem Sioe Liong’s Salim Group: The Business Pillar of Suharto’s Indonesia, the authors quote Sudono Salim’s son Anthony as crediting Mr. Tanoto with providing his father vital information and counsel on entering the palm oil business.

The late Sudono Salim also known as Liem Sioe Liong’s legacy remained for the world to emulate, and having been such an influential patriarch, the family members of the third (3rd) generation remember his teachings.  His grandchild, Axton Salim said, ‘He taught us to be humble, honest, disciplined, diligent, hardworking; also being wise, big-hearted, respecting of others, and always keen to learn’.

Liem Sioe Liong (16 July 1916 – 10 June 2012), was a Chinese Indonesian businessman. Also called by his initials “LSL,” Salim was born in Foochin, Fujian and emigrated to Kudus, Central Java in 1938. He was once considered the richest individual in Indonesia and was the head of the conglomerate Salim Group before turning over its management to his youngest son Anthony Salim (now #5 of Indonesia’s 40 richest people) in 1992.

His first business was coffee-making and tradin
