FOUNDER
Xiri, a household name in Terengganu for 16 years now in apparels and grocery items was founded by a visionary businessman from Batu Pahat, Mr. A.S. Low. What inspired a brave son of Batu Pahat to travel 500KM borth east to start a business in the East Coast of Malaysia is a fascinating story. It’s all in the name, they say and that was exactly the case with Xiri. In Chinese, Xiri means “red sun rising from the East”. Staying true to the spirit of this name, Mr. A.S. Low made a decisive move to start his business in Kuala Terengganu.
ORGANIZATION
Xiri started from a visionary businessman who has built a foundation of great leaders and dedicated personnel.
