Mr. HL Teoh was 36 years old when he passed away on Sept 12, 2009 approximately 6pm. He was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a disease in which the body's immune response attacks a person's central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This is according to wikipedia. This illness is listed as one of the 36 critical illnesses that you always hear in an insurance policy but never really read it, nd even if you read it, you hope you never get it. Is a very rare disease according to Teoh when we communicated through skype a few months back. But is a very tough one to have.
He left behind 2 boys in primary school and a wife. He also left behind a great career, he had to quit a few months back to take care of himself. He was diagnosed with this disease at least 2 years back and has been fighting it ever since. I never get to see him. The last I saw him was at least 10 years ago when we were working on the same project. And after that I saw him briefly in HongKong also around that time. And after which we just communicated by phone, email, IM, skype...
I feel sad that I lost a friend and I never got to know you more. So long HL, have a great time wherever you are now.
