The largest donation ever received by a tertiary institution is S$100 million, made in memory of Dr Yong Loo Lin , a Hong Kong-trained doctor and businessman. NUS renamed the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine in his honour in 2005. The Yong Loo Lin Trust which made the donation, also gave S$25 million to NUS in 2003 in memory of one of his daughters. The university’s Yong Siew Toh Conservatory is named after her. On 8 Mar 2007, Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-Shing also made a S$100 million donation to the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS. The money came from the Li Ka Shing Foundation, Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa. |
