It is well known in the academic circles, both local and international, that both Singapore's national universities, NTU and NUS, are rich with large amounts of research funding. This is why I have always been asked, "Why donate to NTU when it is so rich".
Apparently the newly employed Development Office Director Marina was ready with answers to awkward questions. She suggested to me that a Dorothy Cheung Memorial Term Fund be established for the music events previously mentioned. If I add some more to this funding amount, the 1.5:1 government subsidy will endow a larger amount permanently available for my original purpose. Yes, permanently available !
I caught on this idea of permanent Memorial Funds at the U. This is when I next wanted to establish one to remember my well loved first boss S K who also died while still employed. For this Fund I asked the Dept. to poll students of each year of study who they like as the best teacher, and award him or her as the best teacher for that year.
