Institution of Aquaculture Singapore
8h ·
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Founder and President of the Institute of Aquaculture Singapore (IAS), Mr Jimmy Lim.
Jimmy was a strong advocate of sustainable aquaculture and spearheaded and co-organised numerous large-scale aquaculture-related events, like AquaSG and Aquatainment Symposium. He was often seen flying around to various countries to provide consultancy services to farmers at his own cost, and as a result, fostered many friendships with farmers all around the world. A friend to farmers, Jimmy freely shared his experiences on the obstacles and difficulties faced in farming, and how some of these issues could be overcome with sustainable practices.
When discovered with the illness, Jimmy became even more determined to put in his best for the aquaculture scene in Singapore. During his final term as the President of IAS, Jimmy secured multiple MOUs and contracts with Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) from all around the world and established networks across Asia, Europe and America.
This morning, we lost our Founder, our President and our Friend, we would like to thank everyone for their support towards IAS all these years. We will continue to do our best for this institution, legacy and gift that Jimmy has left for us.
