Professor Arthur Lim,

Mrs Lim,

Friends,

Ladies and Gentlemen

1          I can honestly say friends because I can see many familiar faces, people who have been part of my life, and that of my ophthalmic colleagues here.

2          Donald has already given you a brief summary of Professor Lim’s multiple achievements. I don’t think I need to recite that. But I do want to beg your indulgence for me to have some license to ramble on about the lessons that I’ve learnt from Professor Lim over the years.
