Biography/Timeline

2010

In May 2010, Tan became the owner of Cardiff City after a consortium of Malaysian Investors (led by Dato Chan Tien Ghee) bought 30% of the club's shares.

2012

In May 2012, the consortium said they would invest £100 million to increase the stadium's capacity and build a new training ground, providing they were given permission to rebrand the club from blue to red. The plans sparked outrage among Cardiff supporters, who quickly organised an emergency meeting to discuss how they would respond to the proposal. The plans were subsequently dropped.

2013

In October 2013, Tan created more controversy after suspending Iain Moody, the club's head of recruitment, who had apparently overspent by £15 million during the summer transfer window. Moody was initially added to the backroom staff by then manager Malky Mackay, and helped Cardiff sign several players ahead of their inaugural Premier League campaign. He was replaced by Alisher Apsalyamovby, a 23-year-old Kazakh who was previously on work experience with the club and is a friend of Tan's son. A few months later, following an investigation over Apsalyamovby's visa, he was forced to leave the club.

2014

In April 2014, Tan (through one of his representatives) bought a two-year-old colt from Doncaster Bloodstock Breeze-Up Sales for £190,000. It will be trained by Australian Jeremy Gask in Wiltshire. Eamonn Wilmott, Gask's Business partner, said: "We are very excited, and pleased to have Mr Tan involved. The horse looks exceptional and dominated the parade rings outside the sales."

2015

KV Kortrijk was bought for 5 million euro by Vincent Tan on 12 May 2015.

2019

Berjaya Corporation’s core businesses include consumer marketing & direct selling, financial services, property investment & development, hotels & resorts and recreation development, Gaming & lottery management, food & beverage, environmental services & clean Technology investment, motor trading & distribution, and Telecommunication & information technology-related services, solutions and products.
