Dato’ Lim Khong Soon

Founder of Quantum Metal Sdn Bhd

“Most people misunderstand, buying gold is not spending;
it is an exchange of currency.”

The path to success is one wrought with challenges and red tape for Dato’ Lim Khong Soon, but he is not one to give up. It took him seven years of countless meetings and funds spent, but his perseverance finally paid off when Quantum Metal Sdn Bhd achieved its first milestone of partnering with Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad in 2014. Two years later, Quantum Metal officially launched its precious metal trading system solutions. Today, Quantum Metal is one of the largest gold bullion distributors in Malaysia, providing 99.99% premium gold products to the Malaysian market, including government bodies, banks, financial institutions, merchants, and individual dealers.

The idea of setting up a gold profile management company came to Dato’ Lim after a conversation with an Indonesian friend, who told him about the inconvenience of carrying physical gold bars to exchange into US currency.

“I was looking for an alternative business to my electronics recycling business after the government implemented new regulations on the import of waste materials, so the chat with my Indonesian friend inspired me to start Quantum Metal”

Apart from the planning and requirements they have to comply with to set up the company, he said there were also a lot of competitors in the market, and there are still many people who do not understand why investing in gold is a good idea. Instead of giving up, Dato’ Lim saw this as a challenge to overcome.

“To me, business is like boxing matches; the one who stands till the end of the game is the real winner”

Now, Quantum Metal is in 13 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and China. The company has about 40,000 consultants and over 400,000 registered members nationwide, with thousands of new members joining daily.

Quantum Metal is introducing a Shariah-compliant gold trading initiative and economic recovery solution to help consumers improve their financial status. The company is also in the process of preparing to be uplisted in Nasdaq after being OTC-listed in the US.

“Today, Quantum Metal has achieved significant milestones over the past ten years, and we are still moving ahead”

It is Dato’ Lim’s wish to incorporate his professional knowledge and experience in gold asset management to educate, lead, and prepare the people to face the fast growing digital economy in metaverse investment. “Most people misunderstand; buying gold is not spending; it is an exchange of currency,” he said.

It is his belief that they must always help others, as per the Scout Oath of “To help other people at all times”. Dato’ Lim says he ensured both his children practises the same values. He has always taught them to be helpful and to help at least one person a day, and that will be their greatest contribution and achievement.
