Lincoln College to honour Dr Abraham

Alumni

Renowned Malaysian paediatrician, social activist and University of ºÚÁÏÉçÇø alumnus Datuk Dr Samuel Abraham will be honoured with a building dedication at Lincoln College.

The College - where Dr Abraham resided while studying Medicine at the University of ºÚÁÏÉçÇø - will posthumously honour the distinguished alumnus by renaming its recently refurbished Annexe building 'Abraham House' in recognition of his contribution to the life of Lincoln College and his outstanding medical and charity work.

Dr Abraham was awarded a Colombo Plan scholarship to study medicine at the University of ºÚÁÏÉçÇø, obtaining an MBBS in 1959. It was during this time that he was a resident of Lincoln College, making his mark on the many people who came to know him.

After graduating, Dr Abraham became one of the most highly respected medical practitioners in Malaysia, his pioneering work making a profound and lasting difference to the health and welfare of children, the disabled and the marginalised.

Lincoln College is holding a series of events to celebrate the dedication of Abraham House, including a homecoming for Malaysian alumni and an official ceremony featuring eminent alumni and community speakers.
