Keith Chua has a long family legacy centred around philanthropy. It started with his great-grandmother Mrs Lee Choon Guan. She made a name for herself, fighting for causes that championed education, women and girls. Today, he continues the legacy she started and hopes to pass it on.

Trina Liang-Lin and Edmund Lin benefitted from the kindness of others when they were growing up. Now, they want to give back to others who need a helping hand in life. To celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, the couple decided to start a foundation for causes they are passionate about.

Govind Bommi did not come from a well-to-do family that didn’t have much, but his mother always helped anyone in need. Through his life, he has done his best to emulate her generous and compassionate ways, even as he set up home in a new community. For him, giving back where he lives is important.

Growing up, Yeo Suan Wei often felt like she was never good enough. As a successful working professional, she co-founded CampVision – a programme that empowers marginalised youths to realise their dreams through an adventure of equals.

The founder of this trust and wealth management company aimed to give back to the community when Liontrust starting making profits. For the last few years, he and his management have given their time and money to support disadvantaged children. This is Liontrust’s way of doing its part to help others.
