The amazing story of the founder president of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Lim Kok Wing is thoughtfully narrated and presented in The Man Who Designed the Future, a book that took 14 years to write.

You could call him a maverick, a person who dares to challenge convention and, hence, invites controversy, but Lim has the uncanny ability to stay ahead because he is able to discern the future.

He has been able to thrive in times when many others had to struggle with the global crises that hit time and time again.

Lim has been described as Malaysia’s Father of Innovation in Creative Education. He has pushed the country to move forward, taking the lead, especially in globalising Malaysian education.

He speaks often about the future and has provided the way forward to those who have taken the time to listen,whether they were political or industry leaders.

As Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak wrote in the book:” He is a man who has influenced many in the course of his life and over the the last three decades, the influences has extended across the globe to touch millions of lives.

” A creative thinker, he always responds with sincerity to assist the government overcome many socio-economic issues.

“This is a unique publication in that the life journey of Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing illustrates the changes one person can create in the lives of millions by simply doing what is best and pursuing the outcome, even if it may seem impossible to others.”
In a nutshell, this book describes his journey. But more than that, it maps the process of his thoughts, especially about the future.
