George Yap - 150 years of Chinese immigration to Jamaica

When you read about the achievements of George Yap, your first instinct could be and should be to admire the man. That was my reaction when first asked to interview him for the celebration of 150 years of Chinese presence in Jamaica series. I quickly sought information about his company LEASA. While the information about both the company and the man at the helm speaks to success in achieving the American dream, it would be wrong to assess George Yap just on that level. Talking with him, is a revelation into what makes a man successful, and more so, who and what makes someone Jamaican and an admirable human being.
