Lim Hong Chin Memorial Scholarship

Made possible by the generous donation of retired senior civil servant Mr Lim Joo Hock and his family, the Lim Hong Chin Memorial Scholarship was set up in memory of Lim Joo Hock's father. The late Mr Lim Hong Chin was a remarkable man who built up his business from scratch and provided a nurturing environment for his sons in the pioneering days of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His enterprising spirit, never-say-die attitude and forward-looking mindset contributed to an education that put his son on the path of becoming the first Asian to be appointed Acting Controller of Immigration in Singapore. Out of his benevolence, and upholding his father's forwarding looking thinking, Mr Lim Joo Hock, along with his family, made a gift of $250,000 toward a scholarship for Computing students in NUS.  Making the donation in 2008, he commented: "Electronic computing is a revolution comparable to the invention of printing. It has greatly changed the way we work and carry on business. It has contributed to improving our quality of life and standard of living. I hope this scholarship would encourage more bright young minds to enter this field and develop applications which would be of benefit to humanity."
