Dearest Dr Leong
You've always been to me this steady chap in senior management, the sanest of all. Always the calm voice of reason. Thank you for all that you are and may our paths cross again for the lives to come. RIP.

Dear Dr Leong
You were the only one from upstairs who openly expressed your appreciation for what I was doing. For that and the kindness you've shown towards my family, I am grateful.
Rest in Peace, Dr Leong.

Dear Dr Leong,

You said that you forget the things you do but for the people you have helped and touched along the way we will remember your wise words, your care and compassion in our hearts always.

We will miss you dearly.

Dear Dr Leong, thank you for your guidance especially towards WM :) even tho i didnt interact much with you, can tell that you are really passionate about your work at NParks. It was great seeing you at sports day. May the Lord be with you, God bless.

Dr. Leong,

In the time of working under your leadership, your faithful walk and dedication to the profession has touched me and many others. Thank you for being a guiding light and a source of inspiration.

With deepest respect and gratitude.

Hi Lawrence, I remember when we did the Lay Preacher’s Course, you decided to leave the course after scoring A in your assignment. You said better leave when you are at the peak. Guess you left at your peak now, we catch up in heaven.

Dr Leong,

I do not interact with you much in the course of work between NParks and our company. However, I have never failed to see Dr Leong at NParks events. He is dedicated to his job, even on weekends when I hiked on Bukit Timah hill and I saw that he was discussing work related matters with the Nparks team.

The industry will miss your guidance and dedication.

Dear Dr Leong, there are no words that can possibly do justice to your contributions, dedication, love and passion in all you do, especially for NParks.
I will miss you. RIP.

Hello.
I'll see you soon, but as agreed, I'll take my time.

Dear Dr Leong,
I will always remember how you would speak to us with great empathy, giving us courage and your steady leadership through difficult times. We will dearly miss you.

Dear Dr Leong,

Thank you for your many years of wisdom, courage, humility, care and compassion for all of us colleagues in NParks, as we work together with deep dedication towards the greening of Singapore. You are truly an admirable and incomparable man, leaving a lasting impression in many of our lives and a legacy for current and future generations.

You may be gone, but never forgotten. We will miss your sweet smile. Rest in peace, Dr Leong.

Dr Leong, I wish you could hear me. Last night I didn’t sleep well bcos Dr
Leong, you departed so quickly ... saw you in the afternoon and then
you passed on at 7 pm plus. Dr Leong, you are a man with a clever
mind, steady hands, always wanting to help people & to smoothen things
out. I will remember you well beyond the wonderful legacy of great
works accomplished for NParks & the greenery of Spore. Personally,
your most lasting legacy is your compassionate soul. You touch
people. I’ll miss your fatherly voice …. how are you keeping Swee Ping
& your family members … I'm praying for you all…” I know know you love your Lord
Jesus Christ deeply & you have a large heart for people.
"Farewell Dr Leong. Will miss you greatly." Swee Ping

Goodbye Dr Leong, thank you for the kindness and wisdom you have shared with us.

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Dr Leong. He was an extraordinary individual who left an indelible mark on our lives and community. His remarkable contributions, humility, and encouraging spirit inspired us all. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire and motivate us.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing and a source of strength to you all.

I had the privilege of serving as Hon Secretary in AMKMC in the early 1990s under Lawrence when he was LCEC Chairman. Never have I seen a more gentlemanly and kind soul as Lawrence. He was such an easy person to work with. It was a joy to work with him and to attend Prayer Meetings with him. Never an unkind word emanated from Lawrence. He had an amazing way with words and a very compassionate and loving sense of humour.

I take comfort in knowing he is in a far better place with our Lord Jesus Christ. My deepest condolences to Nancy, Esther and the rest of the Leong family. Lawrence will always be deeply loved and remembered.

Dear Dr Leong

It really pains and saddens me that we have lost a dear boss, mentor and friend. However, I am greatly comforted that it's not forever "goodbye" but "see you later". We will meet again, but okay... we will heed your reminder to take our time.

Thank you so much for your guidance towards us. Your genuine care for our well-being has touched everyone. I am deeply humbled and awed by the love you have for NParks and staff. The hard work and dedication you have put in is recognised by all of us. We are appreciative of a boss who was always supportive of us whenever we face difficult situations.

I will sorely miss your calm presence and reassuring voice...the same one that gave me courage and confidence to take on new challenges years ago. I will also remember fondly the witty and humourous words that speak of your humility even though you are a giant in NParks, e.g. "I walk around the office, pretending to be smart.", "I keep quiet and look calm because I don't know what you guys are talking about!"

Do not worry for us. We will do our best to carry on the good work you have done and do you proud.

Enjoy eternal joy and peace in God's presence. Till we meet again. ❤️

Dear Dr Leong,

I am so saddened. I will always remember you for your extreme kindness and your soothing & assuring words. Thank you for being such a great person, mentor & leader.

We belong to God, to Him we return

Dear Dr Leong,

Thank you for remembering me as I will remember you. You will forever be in my memories.

Dear Dr Leong, I can't believe you're gone.

Thank you for your steady counsel and guidance all these years, when we found ourselves with tricky media queries or seemingly unresolvable issues. How you would stride right over into our office, armed with a hardcopy printout and a pencil, ready to work through whatever it was with us. When the CCE office used to be the previous configuration, I still remember you were baffled by how to get to my table! And yet you came over anw.

Your door was always open. If we needed a consult, we found that we too could do the same and approach you. As a young staff working in the public sector for the first time all those years ago, it was inspiring to see that in my DCEO.

Thank you for being that light and steady voice of reason that saw us through many difficult moments at work. The thought of you never walking into our office or hearing your calming voice again fills me with great sadness. But I will hold on to the fact that you are free of suffering and pain, that you are at peace and in a better place with God.

You will forever be missed.

Dear Dr Leong,

Sorry that my line last Friday was bad. I wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for me. I am eternally grateful and thankful for a wonderful boss like you. May the Lord’s blessings continue to shower upon you. ❤️

Kokhwee and Siewlian

P.S. We will continue to pass on all your positive energies, love and gratitude to our colleagues, families and friends. Please convey our regards to Kim, Linda and Wendy when you see them.

I have the privilege to serve with Lawrence in the Boys' Brigade ministry many years ago. I was the officer and Lawrence was assigned by Church to serve as Assistant Chaplain. Beside providing pastoral role, Lawrence was always there on the ground joining us in parades, camps, planning retreats and cell group. A very humble, gentle and caring person, whose presence gave us much encouragement. Through his life, I saw Christ's humility and love in actions. This has encouraged me to grow in Christ, to serve in the Kingdom of God and honour Him. Rest in peace my dear Brother, my Mentor. Till we meet again. Thank you for your life!

To the family, friends and colleages
I had the privilege to meet Dr Leong Chiew or Lawrence as he introduced himself to me. On first sight, an everlasting impression of wisdom, kindness and a great sense of humour was forever imprinted on me. I could listen to his words of knowledge, the stories validated by wisdom. What a Great Man. My he rest in peace.

I first know Dr Leong when he was appointed as the Chairperson for the newly established Governance Committee. Thank you for your leadership, guidance and faithful service to AMKMC.
