Innovation - a way of life

Innovation, to the mind of Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing, founder and president of the Limkokwing University College of Creative Technology, is not merely about the hatching of new ideas or about simply creating new design for products and services that will be on par with top global brands.

Yet another large-scale community project undertaken by Limkokwing in the name of advancing society was the HIV/AIDS Youth Awareness campaign. It was believed to be the first of its kind developed specifically for youths between the ages of 15 and 24.

Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing can beam with pride each time he sees a young Malaysian in the National Service uniform. It is his efforts and those of his university college that have seen to the creation of a uniform that is practical and comfortable to go with a programme that is “fun and educational”.
