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”.
