I WAS shocked and saddened by the passing of Emeritus Professor Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim on Tuesday morning. But I had managed to visit Dr Khoo and family at their home earlier, in March. The family prepared a delicous dinner for my family and I, but Dr Khoo had no appetite. I understood what he was talking about, so I answered, “Yes, Prof.”‘I, KKK – Autobiography Of A Historian’ by Prof Khoo. Sultan Nazrin called Prof Khoo the “walking encyclopedia of Malaysian history.” To me, he is an eminent intellectual-historian – unparalleled and irreplaceable.
