Respect for Lascelles Chin

Lasco Group of Companies team members on Monday paid their final respects to Lascelles Chin when the coffin with his body was taken to properties where the empire he founded, more than 30 years ago, operates business offices and production plants.

Chin, who passed on May 27 in the United States at age 85, has been hailed as a true patriot, a corporate citizen of the highest order, and a colossus of his time.
