My heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the RP's family. He was my physics teacher for 1 year in the GCE (O/L) and for 2 years in the GCE(A/L). He was dedicated to the success of each and every student. He never used cane/hand to punish any student for mischievous behaviour in the class. Almost all the students, including trouble makers, never disturbed/misbehaved in his class, this was greatest achievement in conducting the class. If not for his excellent teaching and treatment of students we wouldn't have achieved what we are now (Professors, doctors, Engineers, teachers etc). Personally, I am indebted to him to be a professional scientist and professor.
