GCE ‘O’ Levels 2015Samuel Lim
• Samuel Lim, 16, is from Yuan Ching Secondary School. An accident when he was a baby left him unable to speak, and he had to be fitted with a breathing device and be fed through a feeding tube.
• Music became his outlet for self-expression, after his mother Mdm Tan Poh Ling, 44, introduced him to the piano at the age of seven. Apart from playing in his school’s guzhengensemble, Samuel is also part of a band formed with his schoolmates in which he plays the piano.

2015 GCE O-Level Results . 75
GCE ‘O’ Levels 2015Samuel Lim
• He scored an L1R5 of nine, enough to secure him a place in a junior college. “After I get my results, I hope that I can see myself in National Junior College or Nanyang Junior College, as they both have the guzheng ensemble,” said Samuel today, who communicates by typing, helped by instant-messaging applications.
• His Secondary 4 form teacher, Mr Chen Zhanjiang, described him as someone who “displays resilience in all aspects of life”. When he was absent from school, he “continued to work hard from home, with the help of his classmates, who collated his school work and shared with him what was covered in class”, Mr Chen said.

MP for West Coast GRCThe Kent Ridge success story would not have been possible without the care and dedication of all the educators and partners of the school. The passion of the school community and their belief in the students remain the hallmark of an education at Kent Ridge, something that draws many parents to choose the school for their children.
I wish Kent Ridge Secondary School all the very best as it builds on its successes and forges ahead into the future.
