“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.

“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.

Dear AngelVision,

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Please rest in peace.

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

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.

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.

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 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.
