WANTED : The Leong Brothers

Yesterday, I paid a visit to Rev. Bro. Lawrence in Cheras.
The founder was taking his afternoon nap and so I waited awhile. Managed to get an audience with him later on. I then presented Bro Lawrence with certain gifts before he told me the story of La Salle PJ and the days when he was in Changi Prison during WW2.

In his room, was a new tv set. He received it one day and told me that he would like to thank the chaps who presented it to him. However, Bro. Lawrence only had their names (Michael Leong, Peter Leong and David Leong) So I suggested that he wrote a note and I'd try my best to see it through.

Below is the "Thank you" note written by Rev. Bro. Lawrence himself and a short video of him showing me his 64 year old book from Changi Prison.


"Prison Cookhouse"
Bro. Lawrence's Scratch book in Changi Prison 1945-1946





"To The Leong Brothers- Thank you for the giftof a TV. It is a precious Treasure.
Bro Lawrence "
