SINGAPORE – The family of the late Sim Wong Hoo, one of Singapore’s pioneering tech entrepreneurs, on June 7 donated $385,000 to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund.
This donation was made in conjunction with the launch of the book Sim Wong Hoo: The Light We Remember, which was published in March by his family, said the fund in a statement.
Sim, who was the chairman and chief executive of Creative Technology, died in 2023 at the age of 67.
The fund said the donation reflects the family’s commitment to carry forward Sim’s legacy of philanthropy by helping students from low-income families receive the support they need.
Ernest Sim, nephew of the late Sim and the current executive chairman and chief executive of Creative Technology, presented the cheque to fund trustee and ST associate editor Karamjit Kaur at the launch of the book at the Woodlands Regional Library on June 7.
The book launch was attended by 250 people.
The book about the late Sim’s life draws on intimate memories of family and friends, and retraces his path from a kampung childhood to his passion for music and tech innovation.
