We wish to note with regret, the passing of a fellow orchidist of many years. He was the Founder of the Malaysian Orchid Society and have been its President from 1987 to 2003.
He was also leading the Orchid Society of Selangor and Federal Territory.
His passion for Malaysian Orchids from the early years even till yesterday was never ending and was also passionate in placing Malaysia in the World's Orchid Map. He was also extremely active when Malaysia (Shah Alam) hosted the 17th. WOC (World Orchid Conference) in April, 2002.
