TAR UC continues to shine

Going all out: Dr Ling and his wife Toh Puan Ena Ling dishing up a RM180,100 pot of fish ball soup at the TARC fund-raising drive at SRJK (C) Pay Chee in Pulau Sepang in 1992. Looking on at left is then MCA vice-president Tan Sri Lim Ah Lek.

IN the early 1990s, Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik literally wok-ed the talk when he and his fellow MCA leaders went on a tireless mission to raise funds for the expansion of Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC), the educational project under the party.

In between wielding the spatula to stir-fry char kuey teow and serving the Malaysian favourite to his “customers”, the then MCA president shared the merits of education with the people.
