Datuk Song Thian Eng: Passing of a Tiger and an Era

* News Flash *

I just received this sms from Edmund:-

"Hi Francis, my uncle, Thian Eng passed away yesterday morning."

I saw no mention in the obituary in this morning newspaper. Those of you who have anything to share about our former principal, we would be most grateful for your contribution to pay tribute to this 'crouching tiger' who has gone to the heavens. Though he was a strict disciplinarian, I now appreciate what he was trying to inculcate and how lonely it must be to take on such a role.

He will always be in our thoughts.

Datuk Leonard Song Thian Eng PGBK, ABS.
May your soul rest in peace.

he can never tell where his influence stops."

"A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe,
and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself."

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires."
