Cheong Eak Chong, or, under his given name, Zhong Mingxuan, was a Chinese-Singaporean entrepreneur. Born in 1888 in Anxi County, Fujian, he emigrated to Singapore in 1921. He founded a jewellery firm there in 1925, and subsequently organized a bank with his cousin, sending his eldest son to open an office in Shanghai. The political turbulence in China from the 1940s on led Cheong to focus on his interests in Singapore and Hong Kong, where he diversified into real estate, property development, and tourism. He then founded a real estate firm in Singapore, the Hong Fok Corporation.
