Big Organic Dream in Little Wheatgrass
More than a decade ago, an organic shop in Subang Jaya in Selangor, Malaysia, shared on how to live the healthy lifestyle through wheatgrass planting. Today, it has grown into nearly 30 outlets and 8 organic vegetarian restaurants. All of these originated from a dream the Lee siblings had for an organic and healthy lifestyle.
The economic crisis in 1997 struck a sour note in everyone’s life, including the Lee brothers. Needless to say, organic healthy living for the masses then was almost impossible. This did not stop Dr. K.B. Lee, who switched career and began realising the organic dream with his siblings. He thought, “Since medication will harm the human body, why can’t natural food be our cure instead? Starting from what we eat, we can prevent illnesses or at least become healthier rather than be dependent on pharmaceutical medication”. Dr K.B. Lee, with his accountant brother K.F. Lee and electronic engineer brother T.C. Lee, founded their first organic outlet in USJ9 Subang, teaching like-minded people how to grow wheatgrass and alfalfa sprouts.
In 2002, their youngest brother Terry Lee returned from studying abroad in Australia and took over the management of the existing six outlets. The Lee siblings promoted organic food aggressively, and established store after store to educate the public about environment protection and dietary knowledge. BMS Organics has grown from a humble family business to the forefront of healthy organic living. This is the testimony of the hard work, determination and passion put in by the Lee siblings.
