Danny "Five"

A tribute to a friend.

Many people's first impression of Danny may be that of a crude and uncaring man. Quick witted and fast to the point, he taught me a lot about work and influenced me on several occasions which has a lifelong impact.

On a time when I was asked to set up the van sales for a new brand in Klang Valley, Danny volunteered to partner me and advise me constantly on how we should approach this market. Although he could not come along with all my journeys during the initial set up stage, it was ok as he was just showing his love for family, bringing both daughters to and from classes.

It was also Danny who encouraged me to try out London since I found out of the opportunity to go and work there. I still refer to him at times as my Robin and myself as Batman, partners in 'crime'...

When I came back from London he was always quick to catch up for some tea and discuss business opportunities. I even remember of the time I got Chee Cheong Fun from his hometown, Anson when he was admitted to hospital. Unfortunately he could not eat it, but I guess he did appreciate me visiting.

I apologise for not being able to send you off the other day. I just thought of you recently and thought I should let you know that I'll miss you.

Till we meet again my friend.
