FEBRUARY 18 - Goodbye Caecar

Today we got the news that our young and very talented friend of the arts - Caecar Chong has passed on, due to cancer. It was shocking news as we knew nothing of his illness. His close friends Gan and Kok Man said he did not want to tell everyone, so that they worry. It all happened quickly - from November - stage 4 cancer was detected. It seems he decided he shall be strong. He helped arrange his brother's wedding in December, and then planned for his passing. Gan kept on saying he was strong. I believe her and that could have pleased him so that he did not have to trouble too many people.

Caecar and Swee Keong had worked with Joe & I since the early days of The Actors Studio, as performers mainly, but Caecar also designed - one of them was LIFE SDN. BHD., the other is RASHOMON, and the last in 2008 was TUNKU, with Kok Man. Thank you Caecar for your time with us. Rest in peace my friend. I know Swee Keong and all your friends in the Malaysian Arts scene will miss you very much.
