acknowledgement

at Age 96 years

We, the family of the late Mr Lim Cheng Thor would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all Relatives & Friends, Doctors who had cared for him, Associations & Business Associates for your kind attendance, message of condolences, floral tributes, prayers, contributions, words of comfort & assistance rendered during our recent bereavement.

He was a giant of a man. Very humble, very honest and of great integrity. Hardworking, highly intelligent but never had a chance for a good education as he was forced to go out to work at the age of 13 because of poverty. He placed a great deal of emphasis on education. He brought up and led by example in the family, so many doctors, engineers, computer scientists, Ph.D that I have lost count of them. So very sad for me that he has left. I will always remember his advice to me that whenever there is a problem, never find fault but find solutions. People who knew him respected him greatly and that included many past Chief Ministers of Penang including Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu. Although very thrifty to himself, he was always very generous and donated frequently to charity. Whatever he did, whether it was providing help for others or building a temple or giving out education scholarships to the poor from his associations, he did it well and selflessly. He lived a full and exemplary life. His life, values, strength and solidness was extraordinary. He would never allow himself to be nominated for awards as he always said he did charity for blessings for his children and grandchildren. So I bid farewell to him with much sadness and bountiful love but am grateful that he passed away peacefully without being bedridden. We will always remember him.
