Silver Jubilee Gift: Ngs Sow S$3.85M Seeds of Opportunity at SMU
A Singaporean couple, Mr Jay Ng and Mrs Marilyn Ng, have marked their 25th wedding anniversary with a significant philanthropic gesture. On August 4, 2025, they announced a S$3.85 million donation to the Singapore Management University (SMU).
The generous contribution reflects the couple’s personal journey. Having navigated their own university educations with limited resources, they understand the challenges faced by aspiring students.
Their gift aims to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder talented individuals from pursuing higher education. The Ngs believe in providing opportunities for all, regardless of background.
This substantial donation underscores the growing importance of private philanthropy in supporting higher education in Singapore. It sets a powerful example for other successful alumni, highlighting the transformative impact of giving back to the community. The impact of this generosity will be felt for years to come, shaping the future of SMU and its students.
