Born to a poor family in Malaysia, Mr Wong started life as a shipyard’s apprentice. Decades of hard work later, he finally retired…but his new life was only just beginning. In his twilight years, he fulfilled his long cherished childhood dream of learning to play the piano.
Before he knew it, Mr Wong found himself with a group of fellow musicians, touring countries and giving concerts. He rubbed shoulders with celebrities, appeared on television and even met a former President of Singapore!
He may have since retired from the music industry, but his contentment at a life well lived remains a shining beacon to all.
