About

About Dato' Ben Fam Chee Way

I grew up in poverty. I know what it feels like to have nothing — the hunger, the uncertainty, the helplessness. That is why I made a promise to myself: if I ever succeed, I will spend my life giving back. Every family we help, every child we support, is a reminder of where I came from and why I do what I do.

Another RM 100,000 to Support Chinese Education

Founded by Dato' Ben Fam Chee Way, the Malaysian Youth Sports Chamber Club donated RM 50,000 to SJKC Kulai Besar in 2023 for the construction of a meeting room.

Testimonials

What People Say About Dato' Ben

During the MCO, my family had no income for months. Dato' Ben's team delivered rice, cooking oil, and essentials right to our doorstep. He didn't just donate — he came personally to check on us. I will never forget his kindness.

Lim Ah Kow

Hawker, Johor Bahru

As a single mother of three, the pandemic was the hardest time of my life. Dato' Ben's Ai Xin association sponsored my children's school supplies and gave us monthly food aid for over a year. He truly cares about every family.

Siti Nurhaliza binti Ahmad

Single Mother, Kota Tinggi

When the floods hit our kampung in 2021, Dato' Ben was one of the first to send relief supplies. His team stayed for days helping us clean up. He treats everyone like family, regardless of race or religion.

Rajesh a/l Muthu

Retired Teacher, Batu Pahat

My bakery almost closed during COVID-19. Dato' Ben connected me with resources and even helped me pivot to online sales. Today my business is stronger than ever. He doesn't just give money — he gives hope and guidance.

Tan Mei Ling

Small Business Owner, Muar

I almost dropped out of university because my family couldn't afford the fees. Dato' Ben's education fund covered my tuition for two semesters. Now I've graduated and have a stable job. He changed my entire future.

Muhammad Hafiz bin Ismail

University Student, Kuantan

Every Chinese New Year and Hari Raya, Dato' Ben's team visits our old folks' home with gifts and warm meals. He sits with us, listens to our stories. At 78, I feel like someone still cares about us because of him.

Wong Siew Fong

Elderly Resident, Segamat

I've volunteered with Ai Xin for three years and witnessed firsthand how Dato' Ben leads from the front. During the pandemic, he personally coordinated over 50 relief missions. His energy and compassion inspire everyone around him.

Kavitha a/p Subramaniam

Community Volunteer, Johor Bahru

The monsoon season destroyed our boats and nets. Dato' Ben funded repairs for 15 fishing families in our village. He told us, 'I want you to be able to feed your families again.' That meant everything to us.

Ahmad Faizal bin Razak

Fisherman, Mersing

When my shop was badly damaged by floods, I thought it was over. Dato' Ben's foundation helped with renovation costs and restocking. He even visited to make sure everything was back to normal. A truly generous man.

Lee Chong Wei

Provision Shop Owner, Pontian

During the worst wave of COVID-19, Dato' Ben donated PPE and medical supplies to our hospital when we were running critically low. As a frontliner, I can say his contribution directly helped save lives.
