FEBRUARY 26 is a very special day for Olga Kathigasu. She was born on this day slightly over 86 years ago, or rather 86 years and 12 days ago as Olga would insist. Her memory is very sharp.
Olga is the only surviving member of the legendary Kathigasu family. She is the eldest daughter of the World War II Malayan heroine Sybil Kathigasu. Her father Dr A.C. Kathigasu and Sybil were respected for their daring activities helping anti-Japanese resistance fighters in Papan.
