The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) at NUS received a generous gift of S$101 million from the Low Tuck Kwong Foundation to establish a new fund and scholarship aimed at enhancing opportunities for the next generation of Asian leaders in public service and beyond. 

The generous gift from the Low Tuck Kwong Foundation is the single largest donation LKYSPP has received to date.

The Low Tuck Kwong Foundation, a charitable foundation named after philanthropist and businessman, Dato’ Dr Low Tuck Kwong, is dedicated to improving lives and enabling communities in Singapore and beyond to build a better society for future generations. In particular, the foundation provides philanthropic support for advancement of education, healthcare and medical research, and community and social welfare.

The special occasion was marked by a signing and cheque presentation ceremony between Ms Elaine Low, daughter of Dato’ Dr Low and Professor Danny Quah, Dean and Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics at LKYSPP on 22 February 2023. Other guests present to witness the occasion included Dato’ Dr Low, LKYSPP Governing Board Chairman Emeritus Senior Minister Mr Goh Chok Tong, Minister for Education Mr Chan Chun Sing, Chairman of NUS Board of Trustees Mr Hsieh Fu Hua, and NUS President Professor Tan Eng Chye.

Professor Tan said, “This transformational gift from Dato’ Dr Low Tuck Kwong and his family is inspirational. This generous gift has set an extraordinary precedent in philanthropic giving towards advancing education in Singapore. NUS is honoured and privileged to receive a gift of this magnitude, and I am deeply grateful that NUS continues to receive such magnanimous support from Dato’ Dr Low and his family.”
