My friend Keith is missing at sea (you would probably have read it in the papers) in the Pulau Aur boat accident. I feel very sad because he is a good friend of mine since my SMU days and he actually came to mind when I saw maple leaves while travelling in Europe because he once sent me a letter enclosed with a maple leaf when he was on student exchange. I was thus thinking of arranging lunch when I got back to Singapore just to catch up as it has been a while since we last met.
My friends and I have been praying for his safe return to his wife and baby and I really hope the Malaysian authorities will agree to the search extension that Singapore requested for.
I would be very grateful if you could join me in praying for my friend. He wore a life jacket when he swam away from the pack towards a fishing boat, so I believe there’s still hope!
Come back soon, Keith!
