Overview

In 2010, Peter Lim donated $10 million to the Singapore Olympic Foundation to start the SOF – Peter Lim Scholarship. This initiative remains the single largest donation in Singapore towards sports development.

In 2019, Peter renewed his commitment to sports development by pledging an additional $10 million to continue to fund the scholarship from 2021 – 2030.

Since the inception of the SOF – Peter Lim Scholarship, over 4,900 scholarships have been disbursed in four categories: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and High Performance Under-18, to students across 55 sports. Recipients can use the monies to pay for their competition expenses, buy sport equipment as well as to cover school-related expenses.

I want to work my way up to be the top in Singapore and hopefully I get to be the first Singaporean to represent us in Taekwondo at the Olympics.
