EARLY LIFE
Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhary was born into a mid-low class family of Hadhrami Arab descent in north of Peninsular Malaysia; whose house was without necessities and luxuries. His highest education was only until form five, and he never went to university. A whole lot of his knowledge and experience was gained through his own entrepreneurship experience during his youth time.

Due in part his family’s mediocre-to-poor background, Syed Mokhtar al Bukhary had to step into the working world in his early life, while pursuing his primary and secondary studies. Syed Mokhtar helped his mother planting and selling vegetables in the market and also selling roti canai. His numeric knowledge was used to help his father in doing daily book keeping.

After finishing school, Syed Mokhtar helped his father in breeding cow business but only to see the business washed away by foot and mouth disease. Nevertheless, he took over the business and start over by selling meats. He then move on to packaging the meats and start selling them wholesale. His determination paid off and the business started to take off.

Hari ini, saya juga berani mengatakan empayar Al-Bukhary juga dibina berasaskan kekuatan spiritual yang dimiliki oleh pemiliknya iaitu Syed Mokhtar Albukhary. Dibawah saya akan senaraikan kata-kata yang dilafazkan oleh beliau :

• Tuhan memberi peluang kepada siapa saja yang bekerja kuat. Apa yang ada pada saya ini hanya usaha. Kalau anak dangau macam saya boleh, tidak ada sebab orang lain terutama mereka yang dari pekan tidak boleh.
• Saya tiada keinginan untuk menyimpan kekayaan ini untuk anak dan isteri. Duit ini tidak akan kekal. Saya percaya hanya perkara yang baikyang kita lakukan akan kekal. Bukan duit yang akan melindungi saya nanti tapi apa yang saya lakukan sekarang.
• Saya perlu terus mencari peluang dan perniagaan lain supaya kita terus dapat bantu orang lain mengembangkan diri masing-masing.Saya bukan buatsemua ini untuk diri saya semata-mata.

Perkataan yang saya hitamkan di atas adalah bukti bahawa pemilik empayar Bukhary ini mempunyai kekuatan spiritual berbanding keinginan material. Jadi untuk berjaya, selain intellektual dan emosi, spiritual sebenarnya memainkan peranan yang amat penting dalam membina kejayaan .
