(l/r) Lee Pek Yen, Foong Thim Leng & wife, Chan Chung Chi, Khong LeiLan and Ong Su-Meng

Ong Su Meng visited YLCO three times in the last 2 months ie November and December bringing her sisters. On this occasion she brought her niece Lee Pek Yen (her mother Lee Li-Meng came earlier in the month) and friends Khong LeiLan ( Khong Kok Yat’s sister) and Foong Thim Leng (he was a former Star Publications employee) and his wife.

Ignatius was outstation and requested Yeoh Poh Swee (she was the niece of Yeoh Cheang Lee), Yeoh Lam Swee and myself to show the guests around. Ignatius had put all the related displays for the guests beforehand. Su Meng had visited earlier and was familiar with the displays and assisted to explain the firm of ‘Cheang Lee & Ong’ (Yeoh Cheang Lee and Ong Hock Thye) and other exhibits.

Su Meng earlier saw a display that she wanted to see again . It was the display ‘Honoring Our Ancestors’ which seemed to fascinate her.

Su-Meng is very taken up with Ignatius' 'Ancestors' display ....

Foong was interested with Dato Yeoh Kian Teik's funeral write up in a Chinese newspaper


All first time visitors must take a photo with Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh 

It was another enlightening visit. Su Meng plans to visit again when Ignatius is around.
