Tan Sri Low Yow Chuan (刘耀全) (20 September 1933[1] – 8 May 2021) was a Malaysian real estate and property developer.[2][3][4][5] Low Yow Chuan and his four children own the Federal Hotel, which includes Hotel Capitol, Low Yat Plaza, and the Bintang Fairlane Residences, as well as other area properties.
Yow Chuan was board member at Asia Pacific Land until 2002. Following his retirement from the role, he continued to serve as Group Adviser for the company. As of 2006, the executive chairman position was held by his eldest son Low Gee Tat, while his other three children hold directorship positions.[6]
He was born to a Chinese father, Low Yat, who in 1957 built Malaya's first international class hotel, Federal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Yow Chuan's father, the late Tan Sri Low Yat founded Low Yat Construction Company Sdn. Bhd. in 1947.[7]
Yow Chuan studied architecture at the University of New South Wales, but in 1957, before he managed to graduate, he returned home to help with his father's business.[8]
