Tribute to a Victoria Institution icon


IT was deeply shocking and saddening to learn of the demise of my very good friend and Victoria Institution (VI) colleague T. Thiruchelvam, who left us suddenly on Sept 10, 2021, following a stroke.

Teachers and students of VI, Kuala Lumpur, past and present, especially batches from the 1980s to 1990s, would recall “Cikgu Thiru”, I’m sure.
