Yong Yew Kim served with distinction for over half a century as teacher and principal of the Seremban Anglo-Chinese School (ACS). He contributed significantly to the growth of ACS and the Wesley Church, to the founding of the ACS Afternoon School and to the construction of the new single storey Primary Section of the school. He was the first lay-person Principal appointed by the Wesley Mission Board to head an English-medium church supported school and steered it into an outstanding English government-aided school in Seremban. While associated with ACS, Yew Kim also wrote poems, songs, and translated Christian hymns into Bahasa Malaysia (the National Language of Malaysia) for people of all ages, and for those who loved to read and sing at youth fellowship and social functions.
