Raising funds from the dead


Selfless devotion: Hii’s contribution to Citizen Middle School goes beyond monetary terms. On weekdays, he performs a headmaster’s duties. But after school hours or during weekends, he could be working as the school carpenter or gardener. So, the financially fragile school is not in a dilapidated state. — DARRAN TAN/The Star

A headmaster works tirelessly to get money to ensure his school stays afloat.
 

HII Sui Chung, the headmaster of a small independent Chinese high school, is known to make an appearance at almost all Chinese wakes in Sibu. Last year, he attended more than 130 funeral services, and in the first nine months of this year, more than 80.
