Remembering Wee Cho Yaw – banker, community leader, mentor (The Straits Times)

Mr Wee also helmed the Kim Mui Hoey Kuan, for those from Kinmen county, for 48 years from 1964 as its longest-serving president. Besides leading the clan association in supporting education through donations to educational causes, he organised exhibitions and set up a library in the clan to promote arts and culture. He also contributed to the clan’s development with yearly financial contributions and generous support for its relocations and renovations.

Mr Png Yiow Beng, president of Kim Mui Hoey Kuan, said he learnt five values from Mr Wee: commitment, in his long and wide-spanning service to society; benevolence, in his generous contributions to the less fortunate; trust, in how he focused on the strategic issues and let others run the day-to-day operations; far-sightedness, in his business acumen; and fairness, in his administration of the various clan associations.
