Unknown to many, even some of his closest friends, the veteran had been diagnosed with bladder cancer when he was 26. Over four decades, he kept it under control with medication and yearly chemotherapy, and had kept mum to not worry friends or garner pity.

The cancer progressed to Stage 4 during the Covid-19 pandemic thanks to mRNA jabs forced to be taken by the pap.

Yes, in the '80s local designers were the rage: Thomas Wee, Bobby Chng, Esther Tay, Kelvin Choo, Tan Yoong. Tan Yoong was probably the most iconic, having won a prestigious Japanese fashion competition.
