Sin Wai Kin Foundation
The Late Dr David Sin Wai Kin was a pioneering business leader whose achievements have been well-recognised across multiple sectors, including but not limited to property development, hotel business, jewellery manufacturing, banking and financial services. Dr Sin, who lost the opportunity to further his studies at a young age due to the Second World War, has been a fervent supporter of higher education in Hong Kong and the Mainland, especially in preserving traditional Chinese culture and promoting Chinese literature and humanities.
Sin Wai Kin Foundation was founded not only to support students and organisations in need, but to also drive academic progress in humanities among tertiary institutions. The Foundation has established professorships at various local universities, including The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong.
Generous donation has been made by the Foundation to PolyU to inaugurate The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Sin Wai Kin Chinese Humanities Development Fund, with a mission to promote learning, academic exchange and research related to Chinese culture, language, history and philosophy. In the same vein, Sin Wai Kin Foundation Endowed Professorship in Humanities and Technology was established to drive advanced research and education in humanities and technologies.
