About The Donor
The Lee Hong Khim Justin Endowed Bursary is established by SMU alumnus, Mr Brandon Lee (BBM, 2013), in honour of his father, Mr Lee Hong Khim Justin. A veteran banker, Mr Lee spent over four decades at a local financial institution, working his way up the ranks through sheer grit and hard work. With a stellar career across all aspects of banking, Mr Lee's last corporate stint saw him mentoring other bankers to help them develop their relationship with customers.
In addition to supporting Brandon in his SMU education, Mr Lee has been instrumental in shaping Brandon's aspirations and a role model in his life. Having passed away from pancreatic cancer in May 2020, Brandon hopes to dedicate this endowed bursary in his father's legacy while supporting financially challenged students of good character and alleviating their worries as they pursue their studies at SMU.
