Old Chinatown: Continuing the story of the Charcoal Shop at 41 Temple St

 It is with sadness that I have to report of the passing of Mdm Kok Ying Oi (who was 103 years old) on 3 Oct 2020. I was talking with her son, Robert Chua about her, oblivious to the fact that just a few metres away, around the corner was her Wake.

As there were Covid CB Rules, we understand why the Wake was held low key, considering that she had a rather big extended family.

Our deepest condolences to Robert Chua and the extended family. Will continue to chat with him about the wonderful stories and threads from the Charcoal Shop, 蔡维發.
