"I never think about how much, I just give," said Mrs Wong Kwok Leong. Earlier this month, she gave $1.6 million to a new student wellness centre at SMU, which has been named after her. This is on top of the $1 million she and her late husband had donated to the university to establish the Wong Kwok Leong Endowed Scholarship in 2006. She donates to SMU because the university has a compulsory community service requirement for all its undergraduates, which she thinks instills the right character and values at a young age. She said that she has heard "too many cases" of parents gambling away, or losing all, their money and leaving their children helpless. "These children may not have people to take care of them," she said. She is glad her contributions can now help students financially and emotionally.
