THE late philanthropist Datuk Seri Choot Ching Khoon, who breathed his last at the age of 100, would have celebrated his platinum jubilee wedding anniversary in two years’ time.
His son Datuk Seri Choot Ewe Seng, 67, said there were plans to hold a grand 70th anniversary celebration for his father and mother Datin Seri Goh Cheow Hong.
“They were a loving couple standing by each other for almost 70 years.
“He had no one when he came to Penang from Hainan island, China. He met my mother here and they built a family together.
“She helped him with his business while nurturing us.
