 KUMPULAN RAHMAN BROTHERS SDN BHD or KRB is the flagship company owned by Dato Hj Abd Rahman b Hj Ibrahim (DHAR). He formed KRB as a holding company of 17 subsidiary companies of various business interests.
DHAR ventured into business from scratch way back in 1975 in Johor Bahru, as a petty trader at pasar malam, doing door-to-door sales and later on learning his way into selling used cars.
Being new and inexperienced he faced numerous problems along the way, the major one being lack of capital.He applied for a loan from MARA and struggled on.It was during this time around 1976 - 83 that importing of Singapore-used cars and selling them in Malaysia became popular.Johor Bahru obviously became the entry-point for this activity. He saw this as a good opportunity and decided to try himself.
