I’ve lost track of how many years we had known each other. At one point, we were regular badminton buddies. In our professional lives, he served as the contractor for a construction project where I was the supervising engineer. We had also traveled together to explore new places, and for many years, we were partners in the ministry of Sabah Theological Seminary.
Peter was a man of few words, yet his actions spoke volumes. He devoted much of his life to charitable work - in the Church, in schools, and through his active involvement in the Lee Clan Association and the Hakka Association. His quiet dedication left a lasting impact on many.
His willingness and enthusiasm to chair the upcoming STS board meeting just days before his passing suggest that he did not expect his time to come so soon. Life, as it often reminds us, can change in an instant. Many things happen earlier than we imagine. That’s the sobering reality of our human journey.
Peter Lee will be dearly missed - not only as a colleague and fellow servant but as a friend.
