Social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye presented a RM15,000 contribution to Yayasan Canselor Universiti Tenaga Nasional (YCU).
Lee, a member of the board of trustees of YCU, presented the donation to the foundation in support of its mission to provide educational assistance to underprivileged students.
The cheque was received by Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Razak Abdul Majid, who also serves as YCU board of trustees chairman.
Also present at the event was YCU director Shazlini Osman.
Derived from the sales of his biography Call Lee Lam Thye: Recalling a Lifetime of Service, the donation is intended to help underprivileged students, in line with YCU's objective to promote education through financial aid and academic support for the deserving poor.
Lee, in a statement, also called on other organisations, corporations and individuals to support YCU's cause in making higher education more accessible and meaningful for deserving students.
