LIAMST! began as a private undertaking of a group of Sunway College students and their lecturer under the auspices of Montfort Boys Town. From Day One, the temptation to “take the easy way out” and lean on the College as a benefactor was keenly resisted. Instead, there was a strong resolve to face the challenge of securing full funding from the corporate sector. To date, “taking the bull by the horns” has paid off in terms of significant funding flowing in from China Shipping (Malaysia) Agency Sdn Bhd, MJ Department Stores Sdn Bhd, Glenmarie Estates Sdn Bhd, Tonik Asia Group Sdn Bhd and Bandar Raya Developments Bhd. Despite the generosity of these corporate entities to which we express our heatfelt gratitude, we have hitherto raised less than half of our production cost. So if you believe in young people and are feeling generous as you read this, you know what to do!
The Sunway College Management, for its part, has been particularly generous in extending to us the use of all existing facilities in the Bandar Sunway campus. Hence LIAMST! can be considered to be a Sunway-supported event.
