1Human Rights Lawyer: PG Lim and Her Era Book Launch Ceremony,
23 July 2019, Malaysia


The book, titled “Human Rights Lawyer: PG Lim and Her Era”, was initially the master’s thesis of Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun which won her the Best MA Dissertation Award 2013 in Professor Lim Chooi Kwa’s Best Dissertation Award Conferring Ceremony. She completed this research for her master’s degree in Chinese Studies at UTAR in the year 2013.

“Human Rights Lawyer: PG Lim and Her Era” is written in Chinese over 144 pages, chronicling the achievements of human rights lawyer and Malaysia’s first female diplomat, the late Tan Sri Lim Phaik Gan. The book hopes to bridge the barriers between the Chinese community and the English-educated Chinese to promote a greater understanding of these English-educated Chinese group; to address the lack of research on the Straits Chinese, as well as to specifically supplement research knowledge in the spheres of social, legal, human rights, women’s movement and role of public officials. It also hopes to fill the knowledge gap of female representative figures in the Malaysian Chinese history and its character study, and contribute to a comprehensive representation of Malaysian history. Lim Phaik Gan, as inter-disciplinary Straits elite, has carved a very clear footprint in the participation of the country’s development history.

UTAR Tun Tan Cheng Lock Centre for Social and Policy Studies (TCLC) was successful hosted Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun’s book launch at Sungai Long Campus on 23 July 2019. The Itinerary was as follow:
