The Pavilion Foundation

The Pavilion Foundation started in 2009 to honour the memory of the late Mrs Choo Yuen Theng (nee Loke Yuen Theng). Mrs Choo was the daughter of Malaysian pioneer and philanthropist Loke Yew and sister of cinema magnate, Loke Wan Tho. As a passionate philanthropist, Mrs Choo willed half her estate to charity. Her trustees decided to set up a charitable foundation in her memory. The foundation is named after Mrs Choo, whose Chinese name Theng, means garden pavilion.

The Pavilion Foundation is established for charitable purposes worldwide, namely for the relief of poverty and the advancement of sport and education and other purposes beneficial to the community, including but not limited to, the relief of old age, nature conservation and the welfare of animals.
