GEORGE TOWN, May 15 FIABCI East Asia Multi National Chapter president Michael Geh Thuan Peng died of complications stemming from his Covid-19 infection at 1.45pm today.
The chartered surveyor, the immediate past president of FIABCI Malaysia, was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Penang Hospital about a week ago.
Geh, who was known for his jovial personality, left behind his wife Celia Fung, daughter Nicole Geh, sisters Linda Geh, Amy Geh, Vivienne Geh, Guat Saik and brother Thuan Hsien.
Facing torture, a servant girl turns her eyes to the heavens and sings of love.
Her soprano voice swirls high and fills the room as she declares her resolve of unrequited devotion to a prince in disguise.
After her heart-wrenching aria, there is a moment of stunned silence before the audience erupts in applause.
Such was a scene from Puccini’s
Turandot staged at Penang’s Dewan Sri Pinang in 2003.
The opera, followed by
Carmen that was staged the year after, was among the last large-scale performances by the Penang Arts Council (PAC) that brought numerous operas and operettas to Penang.
