Meeting Mark Yeo

I was meeting with my friend U Zyn for lunch yesterday and picked Ah Yat seafood restaurant, a place I had recommended to him some time back.

To my surprise, a friend from a long time back was at the next table having lunch with his wife.

I first met Mark Yeo in 1986. It was at the Toa Payoh police station. I was sent there because I was then a local PSC police scholar. Mark was there because he was an overseas PSC police scholar, who had just completed his law studies in Oxford.

For some reason we bonded, even though I didn’t stay on in the police force. Could be that we were both from ACS and he continued to have an interest in law and visited the law faculty regularly. He completed his bond with the police and eventually came out into the private sector.

We used to meet regularly for a while and then we lost touch when he went to work in Dubai.

Very good catching up with him.
