Finally, I had the chance to read the newspapers of past days.
I remembered yh mentioning about a news article regarding a professor being knocked down by a truck somewhere near NUS. It somehow slipped my mind.
Until I finally saw the article in Straits Times.
Prof Ooi tutored me, and some others, EE2011 – Engineering Electromagnetics, in early 2006. Back then, he was a very fast talker, and I think everyone will agree. He was always looking ever so friendly. He happened to be one of the tutors that I actually listened to during tutorial classes.
Here's the article from Straits Times – http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/Singapore/Story/STIStory_272763.html.
Here's the article from The Ridge Online – http://ridgeonline.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/nus-engineering-professor-killed-in-road-accident/.
That's just so sad.
Rest in peace, Prof Ooi…
