Heart and Soul: Legend in horse racing

I was fortunate to have met Dr George Lim Ah Soo on several occasions during my work assignments at the Perak Turf Club. He was a true legend in the field of horse racing in Malaysia and Singapore.

It’s been a quarter of a century since his death on Oct 9, 1996, at the age of 65. I am very proud to have known and worked with him.
