PNG PM Marape Pays Tribute to Late RH Group Founder Tiong Hiew King

​Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape has paid tribute to the late Tan Sri Sir Tiong Hiew King, founder of the Rimbunan Hijau (RH) Group of Companies, acknowledging his long-standing contributions to Papua New Guinea’s economic and social development.
In a statement, Marape extended condolences to Tiong’s family, relatives, and the staff of RH companies following his passing in Malaysia on Tuesday.
Marape highlighted Tiong’s role in building one of PNG’s largest business conglomerates, operating across forestry, supermarkets, hotels, real estate, and media.

“His companies have employed thousands of Papua New Guineans over many years — helping families put food on the table, send children to school, and meet essential needs,” the Prime Minister said.
He further recognised Tiong’s impact across key industries including oil palm, forestry, aviation, retail chains, real estate, tourism, hospitality, and the media through The National newspaper.
“I thank Tan Sri Sir Tiong Hiew King for choosing to invest heavily in Papua New Guinea and for opening opportunities for so many of our people. May his soul rest in peace,” Marape said.
