farewell, matt

this is just so shocking.. I am coming to accept the term on what has happened when i received a phone call from a colleague of mine at 4pm just now.

the big boss, the vp and gm of astro arena had passed away.. i was shocked beyond words.. i dunno what to say..
he was so young . i remembered the last time i saw him was last wednesday, when he was walking around the newsroom area showing visitors around the office..

since i was off thurs n friday and working on weekend, that was the last i saw him and receiving the devastating call today put me utterly shock..

i feel for his family, wife and a young son.. it's just so devastating.. everyone is grieving for we lost someone who is passionate and wanting to build something for malaysian sports.

on his last speech with us, when the whole arena peopls break Fast together, he didnt get to share his vision and mission for arena for the year 2011.. i just hope i could know what his planning was for us..

will miss him dearly and will always remember his arena mantra for us..

"One person success is every one success, one person failure is every one failure!"


matt mckeown died of heart attack at home around 2.30pm.. hopefully we will be able to pay last respect to him before his body is flown back to australia...

may your soul rest in peace.

it just show that life is just so short, i should stop whining and do something good everyday!

LiYing,
This is the date September 27th, my dad suffered heart attack and nearly lose his life too. I drove him to hospital, just enough time to be saved.
Just happen to be on the same day.
