    KIM Yew Integrated, a provider of integrated facilities management services in Singapore, celebrated its 40th anniversary on Saturday (Jan 18) and marked the occasion with a donation of S$68,000 to The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF).

    The company’s managing director Patrick Tan said that it was proud to support BT BAF and TRCL, a charity that empowers children and youth from underserved backgrounds to fulfil their potential in the arts and culture sectors.

    “(Our support will create) opportunities for children and youth to pursue their passions and furthering our commitment to make a lasting, positive impact on society beyond our business endeavours,” he said in a speech at a dinner.

    Tan also took the opportunity to thank his colleagues and the company’s partners and clients, acknowledging that their trust and contributions have enabled Kim Yew to progress.

    “These enduring partnerships have not only been key to our growth over the past 40 years but have also inspired us to give back to the community,” he said.

    The BT BAF aims to make the arts accessible for children and youth from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. The donation from Kim Yew will directly support TRCL.
