THE lifelong lessons and values imparted at his alma mater left such a lasting impact on Datuk Robert Wong that he was moved to donate to his former school in Penang during a call for cash aid.

Wong, who graduated from St Xavier’s Institution (SXI) in 1956, donated RM120,000 for the establishment of the SXI Heritage Centre which will be built to commemorate the school’s 170th anniversary next year.
