Jason Lau was presented with an SAF Overseas Scholarship at the Istana on Wednesday, 6 Aug.
The SAF Overseas Scholarship is the second most prestigious after the President's Scholarship. Jason was awarded a scholarship to study sociology at the University of Warwick, UK and is expected to leave for his studies in September this year.
We thank God for His favor upon Jason and his family for this scholarship. The Lau family is very unique as the whole family has a strong background in government services. Priscilla, Jason's mother, is currently a teacher-counsellor at a local school; Lui Meng, his father, was a technical teacher and previously served as an army officer. Jason's elder brother, Jamin, is with the Navy and was also awarded an SAF Scholarship to study in the UK. He is currently on a home attachment program with a local SAF unit for the duration of his study vacation, and will return to continue his studies when term begins again at the end of the year.
