The Study Award was established in 2022 in memory of the late Mr Lee Sit Ngian by his sons and daughter-in-law, Mr Lee Yoong Waay, Mrs Lee Doan Nguyen Thi Thanh Loan, and Mr Lee Yoong Keok. Yoong Waay graduated with a degree from Monash University, while Thanh Loan graduated from Ho Chi Minh University of Technology. Yoong Keok obtained a PhD from MIT. They are grateful for the financial assistance that paved the way for their education, which their parents greatly valued. They wish students every success and hope that the award inspires them to contribute back to the community and society in the future.
