Passing on of our School Canteen Operator, Mr Daniel Hoe

On 22 July, a special assembly and announcement was made in the hall by Mr Simen about the passing on of our school canteen operator,Mr Daniel Hoe. He was popularly known to us as Uncle Daniel.

On the 21st of July, Monday 7pm++ He passed away in Hospital because of cardiac arrest. Here are some excerpts we were able to gather from our student blogs:

"I left school around 4.45pm and I can't believe he passed away. He was a healthy and active man. As a person,he was ever so cheerful,and never failed to greet us with a smile when we purchase drinks from him. He was a person with a generous heart,and a charitable spirit. This year, as with so many of our years, he had even donated to us coconuts to be sold by my class at the Youth and Racial Harmony day Funfair"

"I remember he was very helpful,and offered much assitance when i went with a few classmates to get the drinks and coconuts from him..He even lend us a big bucket to put the drinks..Not forgetting the ice that we use during the Funfair was kindly donated by him."

"I remember his selfless acts,staying back till 5 plus everyday to sell drinks to us because we have late lessons.He never complained when he had to walk all the way from the vending machine back to his stall,just to sell us a bottle of drink,or just a cup of drink...He would just cheerfully ask us "Yes,Ah boy?What do you want?"
He would also ocasionally chat with the students..I remember he helped us a lot during our choir camp,regarding the food and stuff."

"I guess The student body on the whole respect him a lot.During recess,if there were to be quarrels or scuffles in the canteen,he would always be the first one to step in to break up the feuding ones because he is there all the time.I admire his bravery."

" Uncle daniel was a Nice man,with a generous and charitable heart.His bravery and charitable spirit shall always be remembered.To His Family,My deepest condolencesm"
