Dr Lim Jong Shiaw is no stranger to TAR UC. An alumnus of the School of Pre-University Studies in the then TAR College, he has returned to his alma mater several times to pay a visit and every time he visits, he will make a monetary contribution.

Being a dentist in New York for more than 20 years, Dr Lim has seen and experienced a lot. To him if everybody were to contribute a little, it would amount to a lot. “What you give back to your alma mater serves to benefit the students”, he said.

Dr Lim himself was a recipient of scholarships and bursaries throughout his academic years. After TAR UC, he continued his studies in Taiwan for his Bachelor’s degree in Dentistry and then later at New York University College of Dentistry to become a Doctor of Dental Surgery.

As he felt that TAR UC had changed his life, he also wished to pay it forward by helping others to gain the education that he had received at TAR UC. On what the young people should do to excel in their lives, Dr Lim opined that they needed to be goal-oriented and stay connected with the happenings in the world as ignorance has no place in today’s globalised society. “My only advice to young people today is to have a goal, aim for your goal and execute your plans or you will never get it. Go out into the world, take a look at what’s happening around you and do not be like a ‘katak dibawah tempurung’.
