Dr Balaji Sadasivan passed away this morning. I knew him as a friend for over a decade, and knew of him even longer.

He was a great role model for all doctors and a wonderful colleague in politics. He had a towering intellect, capacious mind, deep curiosity and fine integrity. He was a principled man who was always true to his values, and did his best for his patients and the people of Singapore. His grace, equanimity, courage and dedication to public service in the last phase of his life despite his painful predicament was incredible. This is a terrible and painful loss for his family and all of us. No words or tears will do the man justice.

I was very touched to be invited on this special occasion. The invitation filled in parts of my maternal family history and family tree that I had previously not discovered.

I now know that my family has been in Singapore for more than a century over at least 4 generations.

Soft launch of our brand new sports complex and community facilities tomorrow for residents living in the Cashew, Zhenghua and Bukit Timah divisions.

The location and special design originated from my first block visit in the area in 2006, when grassroots leaders suggested that having sports facilities built into the slope adjacent to Pang Sua pond (opposite Bukit Panjang plaza) would be unique and convenient for residents in all 3 divisions.

I’m glad to see all the cubs again, fully healed and rested. Now FAS has to work on building the future of football in Singapore.

Brought back many memories.

Managed to get some certificates signed after more than 30 years of procrastination !

Will pass them to my patrol mates in 2201 Troop.
