DESPITE her lack of experience, it was her love for classical architectural design that led to Lee Ling being named one of the winners in a Bench Design Competition for the MRT Project.

“The challenge was difficult as I’ve never done such a thing before. I had to consider both form and function for the structure,” said the 22-year-old who is pursuing a Diploma in Interior Design at Erican College, Kuala Lumpur.
