KLSCCCI AND SOCIETY

RAISING AND ESTABLISHING EDUCATION FUND

The proposal of setting up an education fund was first raised and accepted in 1976 when Tan Sri Lee Yan Lian was the Chamber’s President. In 1982-83, when Wong Tok Chai became the President of the Chamber, he set a target to raise 1 million dollars for the education fund to provide financial aid to university students regardless of race.

In 1976, Head of Education Committee Lim Fong Seng urged the Chamber to be more proactive on educational issues to gain more support of the Chinese community.
