The Shaw Organisation was founded in 1924 when the late Tan Sri Runme Shaw (1901-1985) arrived in Singapore from Ningbo, Shanghai.  In Shanghai, Runme and his brothers owned a film company known as Unique Film Productions (aka Tian Yi Film Co) where they produced 'silent films'. Not satisfied with their domestic market, the brothers wanted to seek business opportunities elsewhere, especially South-East Asia. Runme, as distribution manager was given this task. Originally, Runme's destination was Indochina where he hoped to meet with film distributors. But as fate would have it, he was denied permission to land there. Instead, he ended up in Singapore. Two years later, he was joined by his sixth brother Sir Run Run Shaw.
