Obituaries in Straits Times (4 June)

Brilliance with emotions...That's what Hui Yong is!

I have known Hui Yong for a year and half now and have rarely seen such a person with such brilliance yet humble and composed character firmly on ground. He has been a formidable “Professor” for not only Avago folks but across the entire IT fraternity working for Avago.

I recollect our professor to break down pie into lowest decimal in seconds (even probably a calculator couldn’t calculate so fast) in our team building activity. It was indeed fascinating and inspiring.

He stays with us, forever in our heart and may God give all the strength to his family to live through these tough moments.

Hui Yong, you are always with us…

Hui Yong - A wonderful friend

It was heartbreaking when I heard the news that we have lost a nice friend.

 

Adversing my name is Hui Yong’s name. I was wondering why there was no interview before I joined Mijani's team from China in 1998, after working with Hui Yong for a while, I believed that was simply because Mijani “爱屋及乌” (because like a person, then like all the other persons or things that are related to the person).  In the next 2 years, we worked together, ate together, even stayed in the same flat. Hui Yong is my mentor and I could always depend on him when I hit difficulties during Worksteam and WPSII periods.

 

In my memory, Hui Yong is a model husband, lovely father and a happy friend who sometimes speak jokes to us. He is not a sportsman, that’s why I was so surprised when I knew him finished Marathon from his facebook last year.

 

The last time I met him was when I was at Esplanade a few years ago, he brought his 2 cute children, happily took video for them.

 

I wish all the best and a bright future for his beloved wife and children.

 

Yong Hui.
