LBS Bina Group Executive Chairman Tan Sri Ir Lim Hock San has been conferred with an Honorary Doctorate of Management by Unitar International University.
The prestigious recognition was bestowed in acknowledgment of the Chairmna’s exceptional leadership in steering LBS Bina Group Berhad to become one of Malaysia’s most trusted property developers and his significant contributions to Malaysia-China bilateral relations through key roles in non-governmental organizations.
Tan Sri Lim Hock San, a professional engineer and adjunct professor at UNITAR International University, graduated with First-Class Honors in Civil Engineering from the University of Wales, Science & Technology in 1982. Returning to Malaysia, he played a pivotal role in transforming LBS Bina Group Berhad, founded by his late father, Datuk Seri Lim Bock Seng, into a household name in the Malaysian property market.
With over 40 years of experience in property development, Tan Sri Ir Lim has successfully spearheaded LBS Bina Group Berhad, positioning it as one of Malaysia’s best-managed companies—a distinction duly acknowledged by Deloitte in 2022-2023. Under his astute leadership, the company has achieved remarkable milestones, having constructed over 40,000 homes across Malaysia and attained sales exceeding RM 2 billion in 2022, thus demonstrating its robust financial performance and its consistent delivery of dividends to shareholders.
In his acceptance speech, Tan Sri Ir Lim expressed gratitude for the Honorary Doctorate and dedicated it to his late father, highlighting the integral role played by Datuk Seri Lim Bock Seng in the company’s journey.
Tan Sri Ir Lim’s commitment extends beyond business, as he serves as the President of the Federation of Hokkien Associations of Malaysia, the largest Chinese clan-based association in the country. He also holds the position of Vice President of the Federation of Lim Malaysia and serves in various advisory and honorary capacities across numerous associations and bodies in Malaysia.
This Honorary Doctorate from UNITAR International University further underscores Tan Sri Ir Lim Hock San’s impactful leadership and commitment to both business excellence and community development.
