Khoo Chuan Keat, RIP

ONE OF our schoolmates from Westlands Primary School, Khoo Chuan Keat, passed away last week on 20 February 2019. Only last December, he had observed his 64th birthday, as had all his friends who were born in 1954. Some of us will have known him since Standard One in Westlands Primary School and some others will recall knowing him from Standard Two or even later. Many would have even carried the friendship over to secondary school days and even after retirement but no matter when it was that we first met him, we are all agreed that Chuan Keat was a staunch friend.
