Eulogy
delivered by Dr Ang Yong Guan. Khee Sien died of ureter
cancer; a rare form of cancer. Between 1968 and 2007, there were 118 cases (in
other words, 118 cases in 39 years or 3 cases a year). Dr Ang was in Raffles
Institution with Khee Sien from 1968 to 1973 and in the University of Singapore
Medical Faculty from 1974 to 1979. Khee Sien was truly an unassuming, quiet,
dignified, compassionate, gentle, humble, helpful, and outstanding Rafflesian.
His forte was in swimming; buttterfly stroke having represented Raffles Institution.
Dr Ang shared anecdotes to show Khee Sien's selfless attitude in helping
others; constantly putting the needs of others above his own. What
characterized Khee Sien was his soft-spoken and agreeable personality.
His early demise is a great loss to many. We have lost a wonderful
person.
