'The story of the Shaw Brothers is a success story of fairy tale proportions. The main ingredients in the successes of Runme and his brother, Run Run have been sheer business acumen and hard work.'
- Singapore Trade, May 22, 1969
Tan Sri Dr Runme Shaw, was Chairman and Founder of the Shaw Organisation (Singapore).
He passed away on 2nd March 1985 at the age of 88 .He is survived by his wife Peggy (23 June 1916-, Jiangsu) and sons Vee King and Vee Foong and daughters Doris, Vivian, Nora and Sylvia.
Born in 1901 in the district of Zhenhai, Zhejiang, China, Tan Sri Dr Shaw was the third child in a family of seven children. As he once said of his family's economic status: 'We were not rich, but we were well to do'. He was named 'Runme' by his father as it meant 'kindness'. This was a trait which he lived up to in a lifetime of social service and philathropic acts.
As a boy, Tan Sri Dr Shaw went to a traditional school in Shanghai where he studied Confucian classics and classical chinese literature. Soon after completing his secondary school, Tan Sri Dr Shaw started as a sales manager in his father's textile import and export company in Shanghai.
But his real interest lay in films. He joined his elder brother, Runde, who was then producing silent films as distribution manager.
In 1924, Tan Sri Dr Shaw arrived by steamer to Singapore to establish a film and theatre business. Overcoming incredible odds and through sheer hard work, Tan Sri Dr Shaw and his brother, Sir Run Run Shaw, began to build their film business one brick at a time.
By the post war years, their business had spread throughout Southeast Asia, Europe and North America, operating a chain of more than 160 cinemas as well as various commercial and residential property developments. In addition, the Shaw brothers also operated amusement parks and film production studios in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

For his long service as Chairman of the Tourist Promotion Board, he was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by the President of the Republic of Singapore.
Besides his business interests, Tan Sri Dr Runme was also a famous philanthropist. In 1957, he instituted the Shaw Foundation, which is a fund for charitable purposes in Singapore. Since its inception, the foundation has donated over US$150 million to various associations, schools and institutions. As Chairman of the Turf Club for 19 years, he turned the 'sport of kings' into a major source of funds for cardiac, cancer, liver and pediatric medical research, homes and orphanages, hospitals and associations for the disabled.
For his lifetime of achievements, Tan Sri Dr Runme Shaw was bestowed with numerous decorations and honours including the title of Panglima Mangku Negara by the Yang di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia; the titles of Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang and Dato Kurnia Perkasa by the Sultan of Pahang; Knight of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy, Order of the Holy Sepulchre by His Holiness Pope Paul VI, Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic by the Italian President and Officier de la Legion d' Honneur by the French Government.

Prior to Singapore’s independence, Tan Sri was appointed Deputy President of the Legislative Council, the highest position held by a British subject of Chinese descent. He often took the colonial rulers to task for their arbitrary treatment of the Asians in Singapore, declaring that “in a democratic state, there can only be one law for those who govern and those who are governed.”
In 1976, he established the Tan Foundation to promote his philanthropic causes.
Having witnessed several historic events in the last century, Tan Sri, at the age of 96 in 2003, continues to face the future with his hall-mark feisty enthusiasm.
