The dinner surpassed their expectations of the Singapore Yeoh’s especially for those who attended for the first time and witnessed the “Yeoh-Lim-Chew” culture of the large family which they fully enjoyed.

According to Christine Yeoh, the daughter of Datuk Yeoh Kian Teik, the family has been having the memorial dinner since the first year after his death.





‘Each year it was enjoyable and it always ended with singing and dancing. Also this year there was the young family members from Singapore and they made a difference.

We had more of a younger crowd and so we had more rock songs. In previous years we had more of the oldies, those songs from the sixties and seventies”.

The hall was full of family members made of Yeoh, Lim, Chew and Oh and two tables were from the associations and the office.

It was also Christine’s brother Yeoh Lam Jit’s birthday, which was a few days away and they surprised him with a birthday cake which got the ball rolling.
