Now 76, the former principal of four secondary schools teaches the English language at a learning and training institute in Ipoh, where he had served as principal until last June, since retiring from SMK Methodist ACS, Ipoh, in 2000. His retirement years have also seen him produce seven English language resources, the latest of which is Newspaper Articles for English Practice Book 7 published last year. However, he conceded that his English language learning journey had been made easier back then with the use of the language as the medium of instruction, as well as that of co-curricular activities. Kok sees his post-retirement contribution as a part-time English language teacher and as the author of the resources as a way of giving back to society. Apart from devoting his time to teaching, Kok keeps himself busy with sports.
