In Memory of Kee Saik Chuan

Passing 22 July 2010

Bro Kee came back to Malaysia in the late 80s with a PhD in a very specialized and narrow field of biology from the US. He had joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a student there to come back to Kuala Lumpur and that is where I got to know him.

I had started my growing business in the field of information technology in the 80s and when he couldn't find employment at the local universities in his very specialized field, I offered him a new path in the computer field. As I had majored in Computer Science as a pioneer in 1977 at my university in Australia doing a business program majoring in Accounting too as my goal was to become a Chartered Accountant, which I had achieved. 

Now Bro Kee was an intelligent man, a scholar while I was a business graduate with a pure science background in middle or secondary school. I knew I could teach him what he needed to know as I had trained so many others with less education in many different fields that I seemed to have the knack of being able to learn and impart knowledge to others.

I had become an entrepreneur/consultant/leader in several different fields and eventually gave him an opportunity to take over my payroll software business after training him in every detail he needed to know about it.

My life really became very busy in what I had termed as the Body Mind Spirit domains of life. I had strategically moved the base of my family to Singapore in 2007 which primarily consisted of my wife and the four sons. Our oldest two daughters were overseas in US and one worked in China too.

In 2010 I was shuttling often between Singapore and Malaysia to receive shocking news while in Kuala Lumpur of the passing of Bro Kee. I rushed to the PJ Church in Newtown & his wife Choi Chan saw me and gave me a tight hug saying she thought I might not be at his funeral. I quickly responded I received a last-minute notice and would surely come though I was a bit late!
