The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Kam Weng.

Yee Chong, I remember being in your home all the time growing up in Melbourne. Even when we left, I looked forward to our visits back to see you again. You were a kind, gentle, loving influence in my life that I will remember.

Dear Kam Weng,
Growing up with your children, I have seen you instruct, protect and care for them as a good father would. You are an anchor and a firm foundation for your children. They have all grown up and called you Blessed. You have left a legacy for the next generation. One that is not easy to follow. You are dearly missed. I know this is not a final goodbye but we will meet again and hear you play your organ, to sing and rejoice with you.

Dear Kam Weng,
You have led an exemplary life. A great father and grandfather. Everyone who met you felt welcome by your sincere,warm greeting and smile. My family and I have enjoyed memorable times with you. Birthdays, family gatherings and our sojourn with you and Wendy in N.Zealand. I am sure without a doubt our Father in heaven will say well done faithful servant. We look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you for the good times and memories that we have shared. Rest in peace, Koo Cheong..

KW: Hello
Jules: Hi Yee Cheong
KW: Hi Jules
Jules: Any lunch plans today?
KW: Not sure, have to ask Tai Yee. Tony will be coming over later. Are you joining us?
Jules: Yes I will come round shortly.
KW: OK. See you soon.

Dear Yee Cheong I will always cherish the Saturday mornings in the kitchen of 36 May Street with Malaysian kopi brewing on the stove and snacks from the pantry. This is then proceeded with op shop galavanting, a visit to the market and of course lunch! One of many fond memories I hold dear to my heart...

Dear Gung Gung, to me, your radiant smile was infectious. Your positivity was contagious and you always brought joy to the people around you. Thank you for being there for me, for your generosity and for reminding me to be happier.
You have lived the best 94 years. You will always be in my heart and in my prayers. You are in the best possible place and I look forward to the day when we are reunited and share in the eternal joy of Heaven. Until then, your memory will serve as a beacon, encouraging me to lead a life filled with compassion, joy, and love.

First time we met each other more than 50 years ago in Tun Michael Chen's house. Friendship started to grow stronger and stronger since then. Spent many happy times together over dinners, chatting in your old house in section 21 Petaling Jaya. A trip to the USA with you and Wendy in 1978, visiting San Francisco and Las Vegas, seems just not too long ago. We mistakenly booked an excursion to Muir Wood Park San Francisco instead of going Yosemete National Park, but we enjoyed it. We stayed at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas where Elvis Presley held his wedding ceremony. We wanted to attend the Andy Williams Show at Caesar's Palace but gave up after queueing up at the long line in the cold weather. We, of course, remember the times we spent together during our trips to Melbourne and your visits back to Malaysia. It is our honor and treasure to have had a good friend like you. We miss you.

Dearest Gong Gong, you have always managed to bring a smile to everyone's faces and always was a great host when grandma,grandpa and I came to Australia for a holiday. I will always remember how you would help me practice my Mandarin and piano with me when I was a child. I wish you happiness and alot of durian in heaven.

Dear Yeh Yeh, I am so thankful and greatful that you taught me playing the piano. Everytime I see you, youre always smiling. I will miss seeing you smile. Love you very much, Elsa.

Yeh yeh, I miss you already. You always make me smile. I will always remember watching you play the melodies and tunes on piano.

You are great in writing Chinese characters and wished I can speak and write as well as you. I hope you are in a happy place. Love, Elyse.

We deeply miss a very good old friend. He was so kind and polite and willing to help everyone. Wishing him a peaceful rest with the Lord in heaven for ever. We will always remember him.

While our hearts are sad because we will miss you dearly, we have no greater joy than knowing that you have found the Tree of Life: the Love of God. We will miss your smile and kind words but you will always be in our hearts forever. Till we meet you again in heaven, we love you.

To honour a man of valour is to embrace and emulate their qualities through your life. With heartfelt love

Dear Gung gung, you always said you felt blessed to be with all of us, but it is us who were blessed to have you as our grandfather. i remember fondly listening to you play the piano when i came home from school, and seeing that smile on your face whenever we would go out shopping. even until the very end you faced life with a smile on your face and positivity in your heart. you are very loved and missed, love, Matt

Dear Gu Jiong, our family is diminished with your passing. We shall all miss you greatly but also grateful for your 95 years, your wisdom, kindness and generosity. Farewell, rest in peace and thank you.

Dear Father, I've only known you for short 13 years but it feels like a lifetime. I feel sad that the times I spent with you are no more. You are the only one in our big family who can communicate with me in Chinese fluently. Your Chinese knowledge is extensive and profound. As a Chinese from China, I feel inferior when faced with your knowledge of China and the world.
When I first came to Australia, I was not familiar with the place and my English was not particularly good but as soon as I communicated with you in Chinese I immediately felt as if I was at home. I still remember my first birthday here. You celebrated my birthday with a "lobster feast" for close family members. You make me feel so important and for that I will always love you, mother and our big family. You made me feel part of this amazing family.
I am very grateful to have met and known you, my dear Father in Law. Your life is legendary, great and fulfilled. Your attitude and spirit will always inspire us. May you go to heaven with happiness and joy.

Dear Yeh Yeh. Seeing the love and joy you give and receive from everyone and hearing about your life story, it is clear you have lived as full a life as one can live. Part of this is from a deep understanding of the importance of family. I remember the times when you used to look after me when I was younger and even into 95, you have kept that cheerful energy that can only help to make others around you smile. I wish you peace and lots of love wherever you may be.

When I was first introduced to you, in your Church Road home, I still remember you telling me then that from my surname you knew a Mr Loke Yew Seng very well in your younger days in Ipoh. What a small world indeed as that was my dad. This close friendship with my family has always meant a special bond. You always had a lot of fond memories and stories to tell whenever I saw you. I am so happy we got to see each other recently again as you always have a smile for everyone and share a lot of happy stories. What a great and wonderful life you have lived.

God Be with you. With love.

Kong Kong, I really miss the days we've spent with you, Po Po and everyone in Melbourne. Thank you for welcoming us to your warm home and your coaching on Mandarin speaking. You will always be in my heart.

Love, Ayden

Dai Gu Jiong, you've always been kind and gracious to the people around us. I always looked forward to meeting you whenever you are back in Malaysia, and you would always offer to take us around Melbourne when we come over. You have always been generous with your time and encouragement. I will miss having conversations with you in Chinese and you sharing your stories with us. Forever missed. 💌

During the pandemic lockdown, we love sharing our favourite Chinese oldies on whatsapp. When we finally get to meet each other , we have karaoke blast!
Pa, will miss the days I spent with you in Melbourne. Thank you for everything💖

Mr. Kong Kam Weng, the beloved husband of my sister-in-law Wendy, was a dear friend whom I had known for over fifty years. I always looked forward to our visits to Melbourne where he was our gracious host and we had an enjoyable time going out together. My thoughts are always with the family in this sad time and i will always have fond memories of Kam Weng. Dr. Ho Tak Ming

Yeh Yeh, we miss you so much already. I always loved visiting and chatting about your life. Thank you for being an amazing grandfather. You are always patient and kind and an excellent Chinese tutor for putting up with my poor pronunciation. I will miss learning Chinese with you. Love you always.

Sara and Hachi xx

Always be remembered! Love you Pa❤️

The demise of a great personality. With this my wife and I convey our deepest condolences to you. Restrain your sorrows and soldier on

Kam Weng, what a life you have led surviving war, a successful career in govt and film, four children and eight grand children, and migrating to a country so different from your own.
You have remained strong in your values, love of family, concern for our future, and your passion for music, reading and heritage stand out as a shining testimony to your time here with us all.
During your time here on Earth you have witnessed the worst of humanity during WWII and the best through the care your family has extended you through these recent times.
I wish you all the blessings God has in store for you as your pathway continues. On this Earth you will be sorely missed by many, and I hope and pray we will all rejoin you one day for the next adventure.
Love, Graham

Pa, miss you very much. Wish there was more time. I want you to know that I appreciate all you have done for me. Your love, understanding and patience will always be remembered.
You bought me a new motorcycle when I wanted it and gave me my first car, the Peugeot 504 although it bankrupted me in fuel cost! There's heaps more to thank you for but know nothing is forgotten. I am lucky to be your son and to be part of a beautiful family. I will do my best to look after Ma. I know you love and care for her a lot and I will do what you cannot from this time on. Love you as long as I live. Rest in peace, dear Father.

Our deepest condolences and may the eternal light shine upon him.

Dearest Yeh Yeh,

For all the life you have lived, you had such a positive influence on people and poured your love out to everyone around you. I will miss seeing you smile and hearing you play the piano.

Lots of love,
Charmaine x

Papa, I love you so so much. I will miss your warmth, your smile, your love and everything about you. Your family may be miles apart but we will always be close at heart.

Papa, you have been my best friend, my mentor, my teacher. You are a gentle, humble and beautiful person. Life will not be the same without you. I love you and will miss you so much.

RIP

Pa, we miss you very much already. You touched us in so many ways that we did not appreciate. We shared favourite foods, love of life and learning. You welcomed anyone to your home with a wide smile. You had no negative things to say. I love you very much and you will remain in my heart forever.
