Liew gets Inti’s honorary doctorate award
NILAI: Eco World Development Group Bhd chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin was conferred an honorary doctorate of entrepreneurship by Inti International University for his exemplary business leadership in the property development business in Malaysia and internationally.
This is the first doctorate for Liew, who is one of Malaysia’s prominent property captains and for promoting nationalism through the “AnakAnak-Malaysia” campaign and his commitment towards Eco World Foundation’s student aid programme.
He was awarded the doctorate by Inti Chancellor Tan Sri Arshad Ayub at the university’s convocation ceremony recently.
Arshad said Liew’s contribution to the nation had been remarkable and as an institution that valued the spirit of resilience and courage, the university endeavoured to recognise individuals such as Liew.
“Liew’s conferment truly illustrates his service in the property development landscape, his commitment to the growth of the nation, both economically and socially, and his continuous belief in excellence, team spirit and commitment to drive the community enrichment.”
In his acceptance speech, Liew, who has led two of the nation’s premier development firms, expressed his gratitude for the award.
“Education has the ability to transform lives, build communities and uplift nations... The true measure of success is what an individual gives back to society through intellect, effort and a passion to make a difference not only in his or her own life, but also to everyone else.”
