Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lim Kok Wing always carried
a fire within him, even from young. He had talent. He had ambition.
Poverty and too strict parents did not stop him from exploring. He
discarded what he didn't need and ventured into areas that honed his skills.
Journalism. Design. Marketing. These provided lucrative outlets. He
designed book covers. He wrote news stories. He drew cartoons. He sold
encyclopaedias and cars. He could glimpse the potential in all these but he
was not satisfied.
As we are all aware that Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lim Kok Wing is the
founder of the esteemed Lim Kok Wing University with his profound
strategy and creativity that has brought the university to an eye opener
level, globally. Tan Sri is truly and amazingly has contributed to his
country, worldwide and especially to its students.

His involvement in education not only created a new chapter in his
life but set trends in the sector. He entered the world of education desiring
to impart the value of his experience to a young generation. Upon making
his entry he found a challenge waiting. As he had done with the advertising
business he made it his mission to provide education that would bring
recognition and raise the value of the profession.
He brought the world into the classroom through smart
partnerships with some of the worlds most established and reputable
universities and colleges.
He is driven by a concern for the next generation and his emphasis
on creativity as a competitive edge is now receiving its due recognition after
a decade of championing its value to business and life. He changed
mindsets helping people to grasp the elusive concept of creativity and thus
enabling young people to convince their parents of building careers in
creative professions.
More recently he has introduced the concept of the Global
Classroom where students can transfer to as many countries as they can to
experience the culture of different campuses. Working in collaboration with
his Global Consortium of Partner Universities he has enabled cross-border
transfers that will develop the global graduate. He sees this as a great

opportunity to build cultural appreciation and understanding in the next
generation which will benefit the world in the years to come. But of
immediate benefit to the student is a unique learning experience.
The Global Classroom concept grew out of his own initiatives to
export degree and diploma programmes developed in Malaysia that are
delivered in cities around the world. Already more than 10 cities deliver
Limkokwing programmes. What has made these programmes attractive is
the flexibility and the industry relevance of the courses.
