Rev Henry Khoo, retired Chaplain at the Changi Prison has passed away at the age of 76, after a long battle with cancer.
I never really knew the man, but our paths crossed many years ago. I knew of his work with the inmates. A saintly man, whose life has always been a source of inspiration to me. In today's crass commercial world, so corrupted with calculative, mercenary selfishness, Rev Khoo's life of selfless devotion to his charges in prison, must remind us of a life beyond this world, and values higher than what the world offers.
The Straits Times today carried a wonderful obituary of the man, written by KC Vijayan.
Rev Khoo, May God bless you. Thank you for showing us the face of God. Rest well in the Father's arms.
