The
late Datu ER Professor Dr. Ang Thian Hin, a
Singaporean, started his career as a civil /
structural engineering apprentice. Determined to
improve himself, he attended a 5 year part-time
course at Singapore Polytechnic and graduated with a
Technician Diploma in Civil Engineering. He was
immediately promoted to Civil / Structural Designer.
He gained direct admission into the 2nd year of
Bachelor of Civil Engineering at the Central London
Polytechnic (now known as University of East
London), obtained a Bachelor of Civil Engineering
degree and received another promotion as Civil /
Structural Engineer.
Dr Ang continued his quest for knowledge and
completed his Masters Degree in Civil / Structural
Engineering, followed by Doctor of Philosophy in
Impact Engineering at Sheffield University, United
Kingdom.
While
studying in the UK, he returned to contribute to Ang Thian Soo & Partners during every school vacation
and gained a wealth of work
experience.
He is
the first ATS scholar to successfully complete the
full cycle of diploma, bachelor, masters to doctor
of philosophy degrees.
He also
sat for and passed the professional examinations of
the Institution of Structural Engineers (UK),
Institution of Civil Engineers (UK) and was duly
registered as a Chartered Engineer of Structural and
Civil Engineering with the Engineering Council UK,
Professional Engineer with the Professional
Engineers Board of Singapore, European Engineers of
Federation of National Engineering Association (FEANI)
and Chartered Professional Engineer, Institution of
Engineers, Australia.
The late
Datu ER Professor Dr. Ang Thian Hin was never
discouraged by his humble beginning but strived to
be the best he could be. Having benefited from the
ATS scholarship program, he made full use of his
local and overseas education experience and founded
the ATS ComputerSchool which is now known as Royal
Institute of Higher Education and the ATS
Information Technology Institutes in Singapore,
Malaysia, Philippines and United Kingdom. He wanted
to share his experience and knowledge and to provide
special counseling, assistance, solutions and career
guidance to students from developing countries,
especially those who wish to explore affordable
higher education, employment, business and
networking opportunities in other countries.
Despite
a long hectic 16-hour work schedule every day of the
week as Managing Director and subsequently as
Consultant of ATS Group of Companies, Dr Ang found
time to serve the community and provide student
counseling services. He also served in several
Management Corporation Strata Title Councils,
government educational advisory boards and town
councils.
Royal
Institute of Higher Education (RIHEd) hopes that the
success story of its Founder will serve as an
inspiration to students and encourage them to set
high goals as RIHEd believes that nothing is
impossible in this world.
