I WAS shocked and saddened by the passing of Emeritus Professor Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim on Tuesday morning.
As soon as I got the news, I called and spoke to his wife and son Eddin to relay my condolences and apologise for not being able to visit them that day as I had to leave for Jeddah to attend the OIC Summit.
