Request Edit on Education[edit]

Hello SmartSE and fellow Wikipedians. I would like to request an edit on the Education section. Propose to change the section title from "Education" to "Early Life and Education"

  • Specific text to be added or removed. Proposed changes are in bold: Lim was born and raised in the Chinese New Village of Titi, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan. He grew up in the family shophouse, which was one of the largest shophouses in Titi. He attended SJK(C) Chun Yin for his primary education, which his grandfather was one of the founders, and continued secondary education at the SM Undang Jelebu. Lim’s family ran a rubber trading business, and he would help out in the estate during weekends[1]. With Titi being predominantly a Hakka town, Lim is fluent in Hakka. He is also able to speak in English, Mandarin, Malay and Hokkien.

Lim graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree with Honours in Physics in 1982, from University Malaya. After graduation, he worked as an air conditioner sales executive in OYL Industries, a Malaysian air conditioner manufacturer later acquired by Japan’s Daikin for two years under a demanding boss who taught him the virtues of resilience and hard work[2]. Next, he decided to further his studies overseas with his wife, Puan Sri Tong Siew Bee and obtained his Master of Business Administration in 1985 from Sul Ross State University in Texas, United States. After getting his MBA, Lim returned to Malaysia and continued working under his former employer as a sales manager.[3] This was the time in history before a full blown global financial crisis hit in 1987, which later inspired Lim to start Top Glove.

In 2015, he obtained his PhD in Management from the University of Selangor in Malaysia, and was conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration by Oklahoma City University in the United States in 2016. In August 2018, Lim was also conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Entrepreneurship by Management & Science University, Shah Alam, Malaysia. In October 2020, Lim was conferred an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Degree in Business Management by University of Cyberjaya and appointed as an Honorary Professor at the university.

  • Reason for the change: To provide information on his early life before higher education.
  • References supporting change:

  • Remark: Unable to find reference link from his primary education at SJK(C) Chun Yin and SM Undang Jelebu. However, the information is based on my interview with Lim

Request Addition of Philanthropy and Charity[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians. I would like to request to add a section on Philanthropy and Charity.

  • Proposed changes as follow:

Lim is also a commissioner and volunteer of Tzu Chi Foundation. Lim first got involved in Tzu Chi’s fund raising efforts several years back, thanks to his persuasive wife Puan Sri Tong Siew Bee, a full time Tzu Chi volunteer for years. Lim also pledged to go down to the ground to raise funds for charity, during an experience-sharing session at Tzu Chi in Kepong on 13 Oct 2017.[1] Despite having to manage a huge corporation, Lim took time off to attend Tzu Chi’s volunteer course to be a “qualified and certified” volunteer.

Since then, Lim has been playing a very active role in volunteering activities under Tzu Chi foundation. In December 2018, Lim and his wife together with volunteers from Tzu Chi Taiwan joined Tzu Chi Turkey to provide aid to Syrian refugees in Turkey. They met up with President Erdogan of Turkey, who commended the Foundation for its tireless efforts in helping the refugees.[2]

  • Reason for the change: To add charity involvement similar to the biography of other entrepreneurs.
