Still wanting to work at 89

Meticulous: Ho artfully arranging a collection of mugs and saucers at the Coliseum in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ho Sing Fong, 89, does not fly a plane or steer a ship but he is the undisputed captain of one of the city's culinary icons.

The octogenarian used to be the head of the Coliseum Cafe and Hotel in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman before he retired last year after a brief illness.
