An esteemed business leader and rainmaker, Trina is no stranger to philanthropy and community work. One of the causes closest to the animal-lover’s heart is the plight of strays and abandoned pets in urban Singapore. Since 2019, she has served on the SPCA board to help chart the strategic direction of the charity, and she now heads its fundraising sub-committee that raised $3 million just last year. The organisation’s Paws for a Cause Gala Dinner last September was conceptualised and planned by her, who is currently gearing up for the second edition later this year.

Throughout their lives, married couple Trina Liang-Lin and Edmund Lin have seen and known the kindness of others.

From her days as a student at St. Joseph’s Convent, Trina recalled seeing plaques at school, etched with names of donors who gave money to build the school hall. She was surprised that someone who had no relation to the school would do something so meaningful. That memory stayed with her for a long time. Later, she was offered a scholarship to study overseas as she did well academically – an experience she called “life-changing”.
