he’s a true leader…not afraid to speak his mind…and most importantly…compassionate. None of our so called “leaders”…young or old can measured up!

Though I dont know Anthony personally, his name was always heard in the social work circles.

If you want to learn counselling, go to his academy – CAre and Counselling . It is noted for a strict curriculum and tough to clear the practicum.

I also read one of his books on counselling techniques and was impressed that one of our local counsellros had written such a detailed book on counselling. Such books are often written by westerners.

Singapore will miss one of our great influential persons and he will be irreplaceable.

May he rest in peace – farewell Anthony. You have done alot in your life and it is time for rest now. Be with God.

I have worked with Anthony before during the MI185 incident in Palembang and SQ006 incident in Taipei. He was there to provide counselling services for those who needed them. He was there as our friend,colleague and mentor. I will always remember Anthony Yeo for the rest of my life. May his soul rest in peace.

he was truly a cool guy with his guru beard. may he inspire more like him.

He has indeed done more than many artificial talents who gone by the back door or walk-over during last election. He is one of those vocal alternative voices our msm were trying to shun. When a man like him is gone, Singapore will become a step back until an alternative hero emerges again. I hope his death and JBJ will open up the eyes of many Singaporean – borned here.

Have only seen him once at a anti-death penalty vigil

may he rest in peace

Thanks Anthony.

You have shown us all that respect should be earned with humility and compassion, not through position and legislation. :)

He was his own man, even in death. My condolences to his family.

Met him once, had a little talk with him, a nice guy.

Rest in Peace Sir !

Dear Anthony,

Thanks for living your life for others. It was not your career, but your passion and lifestyle to serve people around you.

We salute you!

Andrew Ong

He wrote this book in 1999, when he was age 50.

This was after the silkair crash.

It should be made ‘compulsory reading’ of sorts for all young couples with kids.

Where you have big dreams of fat pay checks,

Children with A* for results, university degrees.

He makes you think – at what price?

Thank you Mr Yeo.

A familyman.

[...] Remembering Anthony Yeo – TOC: Remembering Anthony Yeo [...]

At least everyone here remembers Anthony Yeo and JBJ. I don’t recall the name of the golf playing minister who died laden with lard in his heart.and please don’t mention his name though we know he was one of the Jurong GRC forgotten chap.

I enjoy his Rebuttal on Chua Lee Hoong’s unfriendly comments on CSJ.

Chua Mui Hoong also is a ‘bombastic’ writer.
Now, new kid on block is Sue-Ann Chia. Watch out for her ‘interesting’ articles.

I remember a few of his articles that were posted here on TOC, such as the one on Chee Soon Juan. They were well-reasoned and substantiated with his own expertise. His criticisms and rebuttals are sharp and witty but not offensive or insulting. With his passing, the online community in Singapore has lost a great member.

May he rest in peace.

From one old Victorian to another:
Rest in peace, Anthony.

In the past 12 months or so I have been knocking into him more often in my estate. Sadly we only waved to each other and did not have a chat. Chatted to him twice about 9 years ago.

Anyone has the newspaper article that reported what he said during a dinner function held in his honour several years ago by the counselling or social work committee? I remember he said something to the effect that we should expand our understanding of what a family is by including other forms of family such as homosexual family.

He is such a progressive evangelical Christian and he is well-respected by the local evangelical Christian community :-)

He used to lecture in Trinity Theological College, Singapore, in Pastoral Care & Counselling.

He is reported to have said during this period of illness that he is prepared for Eternal Rest.

Rest well. Anthony, in the hand of God whom you have truly served, by following the example of your Lord Jesus who also helped and sided with the outcasts against the mainstream. Rest well while waiting for your future bodily resurrection to enjoy a renewed creation.

If only our political leaders take inspiration from Anthony Yeo,
what it means to serve with passion and honesty.
R.I.P

I only saw him once at a seminar and attended his workshop, but was impressed by his direct, straight-to-the-point approach in helping others. He just stood out from others around him. Though I did not know about him before the seminar, I felt a lot of respect for the man. May he rest in peace and may there be more people like him in the helping profession in Singapore.

Met him at a resort in JB, he was there with a church group.
He made a lasting impact on the counselling scene.

Rest in peace dear friend.

I wish I had known him but with all the descriptions here, I have, in a way.

It has to be grace of God that empowered men like him to live so selflessly. All of us should aspire to live like that so that at the last breathe, we have no regrets and move on knowing we have done our best for our fellow men.

You may toil and amass material wealth in your lifetime but if your passing is followed by spittings on your grave and family members suing each other, you have failed.

Anthony leaves us with sweet memories and great examples. God Bless You.

Nowadays, there are very less people who want to speak and dare to speak the truth. Someone who insists and dares to speak the truth is forever being remembered and respected by the people.

The ultimate prize in life is to be remembered for the right reasons.
Thank you Anthony Yeo and rest in peace.

We miss you Mr Anthony Yeo.

Your selfless and relentless efforts done for the good of many people and for the good of Singapore will always be remembered.

Please rest in peace.

Fellow Singaporean.

Sadly, in Singapore, our leaders do not recognise true local talent like Anthony just because he did not have sterling academic results. But these are the true talents whom Singapore needs. This is further more glaringly visible when I scanned the Straits Times obituary pages for his photos but instead saw the wife of a foreigner being accoladed repeatedly. Who are these people with power and money but not recognising our own true born talents. It is indeed sad that a man who has done so much for Singapore society for free is not as well recognised. My most heartfelt respect and salute for Anthony Yeo. May you rest in peace from your decades of true sacrifice.

Even the Christian evangelical community in the Philippines grieve at the homegoing of a dear and beloved brother. He made such a quiet impact upon my humble life, and for this I have written a tribute to him, my own way of acknowledging what God did in my life through Anthony.

We will surely miss him but rejoice in the fact that we will see him again in eternity.

Anthony Yeo to me was all about EQ and IQ, something he shared which meant more than monetary wealth.
Not least, he also had guts to question the intentions of a political despot and his stooges.
Rest well, rest in peace.

If not for TOC, I would not have known of this great man. Flush ST down the toilet and wish I can flush all the people behind it too.

Dear Singaporean
I too was looking for his obituary but could fine none. I guess he might have given instructions to his family that no publicity be accorded.

[...] letters to the press – The Gigamole Diaries: Anthony Yeo – in pace requiscat … – TOC: Remembering Anthony Yeo – Moving Higher In Souped-up Heuristically Agon Moment: Eulogy to Mr Anthony [...]

how come such a kind soul in s’pore, helping fellow s’porean doesn’t seems to get much attention from the press or from fellow leaders , even till his death.??

Anthony Yeo is nothng short of extraordinary. I benefitted from his counselling for over 10 years and he gave me much peace, strength and affirmation in his kind and gentle way. He was truly a gift from God and will be remembered for his great works. May his soul rest in peace.

I don’t know Anthony Yeo personally nor have I ever met him. However, based on his contributions, in volunteerism and in civil discourse, I respect him greatly and am saddened by his passing. There aren’t many Singaporeans like him – unreserved in speaking up for the things that we believe, in a manner that reflects profound kindness and compassion.

Thank you, Anthony Yeo. You have been a bright beacon in our sea of apathy. You will be missed.

If Ho Ching can get an award for workers (I do not have a clue what she has done for a single worker) how come Anthony has never been honoured in any way? This man has even written a book on counselling, how many Sporeans can do that? Perhaps Ho Ching should write a book on investment!

Dear AngelVision,

Ho Ching can get all the awards but they are not recognised in heaven : )

“Ho Ching can get all the awards but they are not recognised in heaven : )”

Why the Lee family ever need another heaven when they already create their own heaven in Singapore and enjoying it every moment of their life ? What important to them is their own heaven not heaven in another life.

“Perhaps Ho Ching should write a book on investment!”

I waiting for her book entitled “How to lose billions in investment and still live a life of no regret”

I’m sure Warren Buffet and George Soros will be her fans in no time.
