    Kim Poy 11 years ago - Dear Kong Kong, this photo reminds me of the many holidays I spent in Penang hanging out with you and Mah Mah - chatting about life, eating lychees, eating popiah, going out to eat yummy meals, enjoying your condo pool, and choosing from the many many snack containers that lived on your dining table! I will miss your smile, your warmth, your playfulness, your generosity and your deep love for your family. Love from your granddaughter in Sydney, Kim ❤️

    Seok Bee Yeap Celebrating papa's 88th Birthday with family. I'll always remember papa as happy and loving to all his children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren. He liked to entertain them with his magic tricks. He also really loved his food with his famous catch phrase of C&G (Cheap & Good). He was extremely happy to take us to far away places for food such as Land's End. He enjoyed the simple things in life such as gambling at home playing Mahjong, Chi Ki and even the One arm bandit (Slot machine) at the RSL or Casino - these things made him so happy and he could play for hours. His good luck charm was to put some sugar below his seat at the slot machines. I love you papa dearly and will miss your smile and happy go lucky attitude. Love from your daughter Seok Bee

    Amy Mui Kong Kong – you have truly lived a great, long life with so many friends and family that love you dearly. I am so thankful that Amelia got to meet her great grandfather last year. I miss you terribly, as you were the kindest, most jovial, most crazy funny grandparent that one could hope for. Growing up, I remember you lighting up my world by doing silly things or performing magic tricks – that was your way of making sure your grandchildren knew you loved them. You inspired me to embrace the spiciness in food as “it’s not good unless it makes you sweat”. Most recently, you kept telling us that you would take us to Penang Hill to eat sweet and juicy fruits from your friend. We will go back one day and eat fruits there in remembrance of you. Love you lots Kong Kong, your granddaughter, Amy.

    Beng Yeoh Papa, we love you very much; we miss you terribly. You were always there for us whenever we needed you. We are very sorry we could not be there by your side in your last few days, because of current movement restrictions. From afar, via live video we watched and farewelled you. We do remember this: You encouraged us so much through the years with your gentle, kind and caring spirit, and positive attitude to life and family. We remember your funny jokes, perplexing magic tricks, how you made us laugh like little children. Even when we went to far away countries you came to see us. You always stayed close to us; we remember all the enjoyable family holidays. We thank God for giving you many (nearly 94) good years of life, and many opportunities to bring joy to so many people. May God give you a big hug from all of us. With unceasing love from Beng and Le Wan

    Eunice Loo I had so much memories of him while growing up as a little girl. Will always remember him entertaining my cousins and I with his magic tricks. He is most happy with children being around - it brings out that little kid in him :). We will always remember him as a very jovial and bubbly granduncle and great-granduncle. Rest in peace Ku Kong. We will miss you terribly. Love from all us: Eunice, Mike, Abby & Becky.

    Uncle Yeoh.... A compassionate man. A gentle & kind soul. Generous to a fault & always a happy person to be around with...especially where there is good food around.

    Cheang Wah Pek was the uncle, my sisters Sylvia, Karen and I, always looked forward to visiting. He was always jovial and kind. We love his smiles and laughter. He had a warm beautiful soul. Will always remember his cute teddy bear-like look, very comforting and approachable. Can’t help but smile when we think of him.

    Elaine Ong24 Apr 2020

    Cheang Wah Pek, as my siblings and I called him, was to us a very special uncle who was always so jovial, funny, kind and so helpful to us. I’ll never forget his kind laugh and smile. We will miss him dearly.
