Final Tribute to Leong Sin Nam. January 1940.

Ms Deng Yu of NUS is writing a thesis on the Chinese Consul General of Singapore.  She did some research and found some pictures of LSN with Mr Kao, the Chinese Consul General of Singapore.  I searched my archive and found these other photos which I wish to share with her and you during this Cheng Beng. 

Deng Yu's message on examining this photo collection: "In British Malaya(1930-1940s), we only have one Chinese Consul General, and two Chinese Consuls. All of them came to Mr. Leong Sin Nam's funeral."
