While most schools needing monetary aid have to ask their former students for support, it was the other way around with Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Bandar Baru Ampang.
Marvelled Headmistress Puan Rabiya Mohamed Sultan, "Dato Sri Liow Soon Hee heard of our request to the education authorities that we needed Smart TVs and phoned us out of the blue offering to donate them!
"The receptionist thought it was a joke as no former student had ever done this. Previously, if we needed anything we had to request to the authorities and sometimes we get declined. Luckily she passed the call to me and I could not believe our luck.
"Not only is this the biggest single financial donation, it is also the FIRST time a former student of SMJK Bandar Baru Ampang had ever donated cash.
"We had always wanted 4 Smart TVs as they are such an effective aid to teach. We also needed new ceiling fans, air conditioners, floorings, wiring and general maintenance.
"We were stunned when Dato Sri Liow offered 7 Smart TVs at over RM 7,000 each which came to RM 50,000 plus RM 5,000 for electronic items and the rest.
"He really lives up to his moniker ''Malaysia's Youngest Philanthropist'' as he is only 32!"
At the ceremony, Dato Sri Nicky Liow Soon Hee also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to donate a further RM 550,000 to build a new Dewan (Hall) for assemblies, functions and various purposes.
Dato Sri Nicky Liow Soon Hee grew up in Ampang area and used to walk to this school as he came from a poor family. On Monday 27 July 2020 he returned to his alma mater in total triumph---arriving in a Bentley and departing in a Rolls-Royce, one of two he owns!
Recalls the indefatigable Dato Sri Nicky Liow Soon Hee, Ï studied here in SMJK Bandar Baru Ampang from Form 1 to Form 5 and my formative years were rooted here. Ofv course I have a sentimental attachment to my old school. At that time Puan Robiya was my Discipline Teacher."
Noted Puan Robiya Mohd Sultan, Ï left SMJK Bandar Baru Ampang a few years after Dato Sri Liow left. I returned as Principal a few years ago. Isn't it strange our paths would cross again after so many years? So it must be fated we should meet again!"
Of course many are curious to know if Puan Robiya Sultan had caned Dato Sri Liow Soon Hee when he was a student here...
