Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>WHILE children of wealthy people all over the world usually fight over inheritance of material possessions, Dato Tiffanee Lim went for something better. Lim inherited her parents\u2019 brains.<\/p>\n

Lim, the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology\u2019s global vice-president and founder\u2019s daughter, knowingly or unknowingly, designed her own destiny.<\/p>\n

Tiffanee Lim, 30, a carefree young woman who interacts with everyone and laughs at jokes, made education her pillar of strength instead of making her wealthy parents her gold mine. She grew up with the knowledge that she had to earn what she puts in her purse through hard work and she focused on her studies.<\/p>\n

She is not the vice-president of the international university merely because her father, the late Professor Lim Kok Wing, founded it but because she qualifies irrespective of her young age.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up in an environment of academics, I was exposed to high quality conversations which shaped my career today,\u201d Lim told thepost in an exclusive interview last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Lim says she has been working hard to push the vision of her late father. Besides being a Chief Brand Officer of the Limkokwing University, she is an author of several books including Think With Your Heart, The Mind Speaks and Late Have I loved Thee.<\/p>\n

She is also a fashion designer who has participated in big international fashion shows such as the New York Week fashion show. Lim explains that she was surrounded by highly educated people since her childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth my parents are academics,\u201d she says. Lim was exposed to the campus life at a very young age due to her father\u2019s position as the founder of the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember growing up in this office which was the university,\u201d she says. At the age of 12, Lim was taken to the United Kingdom to study.<\/p>\n

She came back and joined the university at the age of 16 as a student in professional communication. She graduated at the age of 20. Lim says she started working while she was a university student.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a student, I was already like a student ambassador.<\/p>\n

I had interest in whatever that was going on,\u201d she says. When she was 21, she published her first book. \u201cI have now published four books,\u201d she says. She says she later moved from being a reader to a publisher.<\/p>\n

Lim says she was raised in a family where reading was the norm. She then developed a love for magazines. She says at a very young age, she developed a passion to learn how to produce magazines and being in the magazine as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the first person to be featured in Vogue Magazine,\u2019\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

She says she spent a year working at Invoke, a Malaysian non-profit organisation founded by the Vice President of the People\u2019s Justice Party (PKP). She holds a Master\u2019s Degree in Fashion Design.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made myself a fashion designer as well,\u201d she says. She started several fashion labels. At the age of 20, she launched her first fashion label.<\/p>\n

Tiffane says she then ventured into retailing where the brand has spread into several countries including Lesotho. She says through this brand, they managed to open six stores in the world including in London and Indonesia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe became the first Malaysian company to become available online on the biggest international websites,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She says she has been working hard to push for the participation of students in international fashion shows. \u201cWe also participate in London fashion week each year including the China and Japan fashion shows,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She says she is seeking to host Africa\u2019s biggest fashion shows which will start in Lesotho. \u201cI believe it will make international news and show great talent from here,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Tiffane further says the university was able to participate in a fashion week in New York. \u201cWe became the first university in Malaysia to independently showcase our fashion products in New York City,\u2019\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

Tiffane says for the past few years her focus has been on talent development. She says she was privileged to be trained by the best people in the world.<\/p>\n

This has instilled the passion to spot talent, anchoring and guiding young growing entrepreneurs to be the best. She says since the university is broad, it allows an individual to bring all the knowledge altogether.<\/p>\n

Tiffane says she was able to bring together her working skills as well as fashion skills while pursuing a communication career. \u201cThis benefited me a lot,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She says the university is global, it has allowed her to build a bigger network in various countries. She says when she came from the UK, she was surprised by the number of foreigners.<\/p>\n

However, she says she came to understand why people move from their countries to Malaysia. \u201cI came to realise that the founder was a special person,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

However, she says being a daughter of the president was tough. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t go to class or I was late, everyone would know. They made it a point that they let me know,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The founder was a visionary man, a good designer and effective at his business. Tiffane says this piled some pressure on her since people expect her to excel.<\/p>\n

She says her father\u2019s death has left a huge void in her life. She says her late father was her guide, mentor and inspiration. Tiffane says it has been a huge challenge for her to inherit the university as a young woman.<\/p>\n

She says there is pressure both internally and externally to be at the same level as people with more experience. Teffani says most of the leaders in the industry are men.<\/p>\n

She further says even the decision makers, policy makers, legislation makers and accreditation bodies are led by men. \u201cBeing on one table with senior people who are even double my age, it\u2019s so challenging as a young woman,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

As a young female in this industry, she says one has to be conscious about these things all the time. She says her late father, Dr Lim Kok Wing, had a huge impact in the lives of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis also naturally puts pressure on me,\u201d she says. Tiffane says the mission for the university remains huge. She says it can sometimes be a challenge to talk about technology because it moves quicker than the accreditation.<\/p>\n
