"In Korea we are astounded by the courage and foresight of Professor Limkokwing. Single-handedly he has built a global presence in a way no other university has achieved. That this university is Asian fills me with a lot of pride that one of our own, an Asian university, has created history by being in places that we would never have dreamt of being."
