Dato Phoon Chee Neo’s son, CEO of Farm in the City, Dato Allan Phoon announced his father’s passing on Facebook, last night. “It is with great sadness that we inform you, that my respected father, Dato Phoon Chee Neo, passed away on 18th October 2023 at the age of 83,” he wrote.

“He has set an example for us, his motto was that success and good work comes from hard work. His purpose was: As long as I can work, I will continue to do what I can do. I hope that (we) can be reunited in the next life,” Dato Allan Phoon added in his post.

Dato Phoon Chee Neo has reportedly always loved animals since young, hence his venture into petting zoos and the like. He founded the Pet Century Ostrich Park in Klang, and later pioneered the Farm In The City project with his son. He is also one of the largest fish and birds importers and exporters in Malaysia, often known as the “King of Birds” in the industry.
