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.
Peter had served as Chairman of the Board of Governors of STS. His last public appearance was to officiate at the 29th Graduation of STS graduating students on 02.11.2018 (Read here). His willingness and enthusiasm to chair the upcoming STS board meeting just days before his passing revealed that he did not expect his time to come so soon. Life, as it often reminds us, can change in an instant. Many things unfold earlier than we expect - a sobering reminder of the fragility and unpredictability of our earthly journey.
Peter Lee will be dearly missed - not only as a colleague and fellow servant but as a friend.
