Singapore Scientist-Entrepreneur Sam Leong MSc MBA Announces Groundbreaking Book Launch
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAM★INK® founder Samuel "Sam" Leong Sek Kin today announced his forthcoming international bestseller: From Groceries to Greatness: How a Singapore Scientist Built Global Success Through Faith and Hard Work.

From $0 to Global Innovation: A Story 60 Years in the Making
At age 13, Sam Leong was stocking shelves in a Singapore grocery store, helping support his family on a schoolteacher's modest income. Today, his name is a registered trademark synonymous with scientific innovation, sustainable business practices, and entrepreneurial excellence across Asia and beyond.
This is not another business memoir. This is the blueprint for how faith, relentless work ethic, and scientific thinking can transform ordinary beginnings into extraordinary global impact.
What Readers Will Discover
From Groceries to Greatness reveals the principles that took Sam Leong from poverty to founding two internationally recognized brands—SAM★INK® and ECOSAM®—while earning advanced degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Golden Gate University, conducting research at Cambridge, and rising through the ranks at Hewlett-Packard.
The book delivers:
- The Mindset Formula: How Sam's unwavering belief in hard work and positive thinking enabled him to work multiple campus jobs, graduate top of his class, and invent the world's first recyclable inkjet media in 1997
- Innovation Under Pressure: The real story behind challenging industry giants with affordable, high-quality eco-solvent inks and building a global supply chain from Singapore
- Faith-Driven Entrepreneurship: How spiritual principles guided business decisions, community leadership, and philanthropic work
- The Singapore Advantage: Leveraging Asia's entrepreneurial ecosystem to compete on the world stage
- Sustainable Success: Building ECOSAM® with ethics and social responsibility at its core—proving profit and purpose can coexist
Why This Book, Why Now
In 2026, as the world navigates economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and a hunger for authentic success stories, From Groceries to Greatness arrives at the perfect moment. Like Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich during the Great Depression, this book offers hope backed by proven methodology—not theory, but a lived roadmap from a scientist who built global brands from nothing.
"People don't want another guru telling them what to do," says Sam Leong. "They want to see how someone like them—someone who started with nothing—actually did it. This book is my life's work distilled into principles anyone can apply, whether you're in Singapore, Silicon Valley, or anywhere in between."
Singapore to the World
The book launches first in Singapore, honoring the nation that shaped Sam's journey, before expanding globally. It speaks to Singapore's entrepreneurial spirit while addressing universal themes that transcend borders: resilience, innovation, faith, and the courage to challenge the status quo.
