Final farewell: An electronic billboard in front of the Lot 10 shopping mall displaying a condolence message during Yeoh’s funeral procession.
I AM a beneficiary of the Late Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay’s act of charity. As a tribute to Tan Sri Yeoh, I would like to play a small part by extending his good deeds to others.
More than 10 years ago, when I received an Oxford University offer for postgraduate studies, which came with a requirement to show evidence of my ability to pay for the full tuition fees and living expenses in England, I was in a helpless situation. The cash in hand was insufficient and I was short of time. Out of desperation, I wrote letters to seek help from several prominent businessmen, one of whom was Tan Sri Yeoh, and he was the only one who replied.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
