Our Story

Why “Five Stones”?

Five Stones, also known as ‘Batu Seremban’ or “五石子” is a traditional skill game played with five small triangular fabric bags filled with sand, rice, or seeds.

The local game has a rich tradition in Malaysia and the early days of Independent Singapore, with global roots.

To win, players progress through eight sequential steps of tossing and catching the stones using one hand, aiming to complete all steps without dropping a piece or moving unintended stones.

Its cultural roots reflect our dedication to our home countries, and determination to cultivate generational growth and ties.

To win, you must be coordinated, balancing many stones. This informs our passion of working with people from all backgrounds, aiming to create value by balancing strengths.

Five Stones founders value innovation and experimentation, but also tradition. Most importantly, loyalty.

We look forward to working together.
