King Sung first stepped into Sacred Heart in 1980, as a student. After completing his Lower Six in 1986, he furthered his studies in New Zealand for four years. Shortly after his return to Sibu, he began working at Lau Hoi Chew and Co as an auditor in 1991.

As fate would have it, Robert Lau Hoi Chew’s many community-driven activities brought King Sung back to the school as well. Eventually, King Sung began serving in SHOSA in the mid-’90s under the presidency of Dr. Gregory Hii. From then on, King Sung has remained in SHOSA, charting up an amazing 25 years of service, as of 2020.

King Sung’s affinity with and service to, the School, is a shining example of how former students returned and served with great pride and dedication.

PERSEVERANCE…SHOSA President (front row – right) Yong King Sung was the driving force behind the eventual creation of SHOSA’s website.

“For too long, all of us have been talking and wanting this but somehow we keep hitting a wall. In 2020, I was determined that no matter what, we will persevere and push this matter through,” he said. With the support of his Secretary Eddy Puah and the endorsement of the 2018-2019 office bearers, King Sung stayed the course and on 25 Jul 2020, what was previously all talk and no progress, became a total reality.

Thanking the SHOSA team and also the outsourced web design freelancer – Feather’s Art – for its patience and passion, King Sung acknowledged that the website was a work in progress. “We are looking forward to receiving more photos and stories from the Old Boys to upload . This is a live project and for as long as there are Sacred Heart Old Boys, this website will continue to grow and evolve,” King Sung said.

STRONG SUPPORT…More than 50 members showed up to ensure a minimum quorum for AGM 2020. Many Pack Leaders from different years stepped up to the challenge to rally their batch mates to show up and lend their support.
