Yayasan Lim Yee Hoh (YLYH) is a charitable foundation which was incorporated in 1980. It is a tax-exempt charitable foundation incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLBG) under the Companies Act 1965.
Its founder, the late Mr Lim Yee Hoh, was born in Malaysia into a Hokkien family in 1924. His grandfather migrated to Malaysia from Fujian Province in the late 1800s and started a business in rubber plantations, trading and processing, thus forming the Yee Seng Group. Lim Yee Hoh was active in various Chinese and Hokkien clan associations in Malaysia. He passed away in 2005.
Apart from being a well-established business personality in Malaysia, the late Lim Yee Hoh was also a fond lover of art, music and local culture. He provided strong support to the local music scene and was a generous patron to and a cellist with the Kuala Lumpur Symphony Orchestra. He took great pains to support artists of South East Asia by buying their early works. He also paid significant attention to the works of modern-day Chinese painters.
To continue his patronage, he set up Yayasan Lim Yee Hoh dedicated to undertaking the charitable promotion and advancement of art, music and cultural activities, thus contributing to the advancement of these fields in Malaysia. Through it, he would ensure his lifelong passion of supporting upcoming artists long into the future. His donation of works of art has led the Trustees to believe that YLYH is now financially strong enough to make a significant and meaningful contribution to the creative community that very often lacks financial support to progress.
