Subject: Re: Sad News Author: cym [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:52:29 07/15/14 Tue Author Host/IP: NoHost/101.172.85.85 In reply to: Lim Khoy Hing 's message, "Re: Sad News" on 23:27:17 07/12/14 Sat It is a sad message to hear of the passing of a classmate. I have not met him again since 1964, when we all went our way to make a living for the next generation. May he rests in peace. Captain, good to hear your book is warmly received by all. Do set to translate the book to as many languages as possible. I still have not read the book. Perhaps one day when I pass through the region again I can grab a copy. I am too old fashion to use Amazon etc. By the way our Chinese Heritage books are moving very slowly. Not expecting to make a great living by selling the book. Good thing is, the books are used by university students for research etc. And the local museums and people into this sort of studies are aware of our work. Meanwhile, to all our Apek. Be happy and be healthy. Regards, LG aka cym >May Allah bless his soul and have mercy on him. > >The news was actually broken to me by Prof Mohd Said's >mentor, Halim.
