A touching tribute to Rosaline
THE newly expanded library and cyber centre of Methodist Girls’ School (MGS) in Penang, will be named after the late wife of YTL Corporation group managing director Tan Sri Francis Yeoh.
The new library and cyber centre, which will be officially opened on March 3, will be called ‘The Puan Sri Datin Paduka Rosaline Library & Cyber Centre’.
A dedication and thanksgiving service to remember the late Rosaline was held by the MGS Board of Governors committee in line with their pledge to express their gratitude to Yeoh and his family for a personal donation of RM500,000 to the school in conjunction with MGS’s 121st anniversary celebrations this year.
MGS Board of Governors chairman Datuk Kee Phaik Cheen said that the expansion and upgrading of the school’s facilities were made possible by the donation from the Yeoh fa-mily.
“This dedication and thanksgiving service to remember Rosaline is the board’s way of saying thank you.
“Previously, only our secondary school has a cyber centre. Now with more funds, we have built a cyber centre for the primary one as well. We have expanded both the primary and secondary schools’ libraries where both have a second floor now,” said Kee.
Held under the theme of ‘Remembering Rosaline’, the dedication and thanksgiving service also saw the lighting of ‘The Rosaline Wall’, a wall at the entrance of the secondary school’s library by Yeoh.
Adorned with a simple decoration of a ‘tree of knowledge’ and lights to brighten up the ‘tree’, the wall also featured Rosaline’s favourite bible verse, Psalm 23.
“The Rosaline Wall is also another way to thank the Yeoh family. We hope that the wall can inspire others to remember their own loved ones,” said Kee during the service at the school on Anson Road on Saturday.
Speaking during the service, Yeoh reminisced joyous moments he and his children used to have when Rose, as Rosaline was fondly known to Francis, was still around.
“Rose was a wonderful wife and mother to our five children. She left Hong Kong to come to Malaysia with me although she was a famous star there.
“Back then, YTL Corp was still small and she had a dream to build a family and company. I would like to thank all of you for all your (kind) thoughts about Rose. I am deeply touched by the people who came here to witness this service to remember her today,” said Yeoh.
A string quartet from Musica Sinfonietta was also seen playing two of Rosaline’s favourite songs entitled ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘Nella Fantasia’ during the service.
Rosaline, a Hong Kong television personality, died in a Singapore hospital in Aug, 2006, after battling breast cancer for seven years. She was 54.
Also present at the service was the brother of Francis, Datuk Mark Yeoh, and other family members. fr:thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2012/2/22/north/10766078&sec=North
