Farewell George Heng


George Heng, owner of Mesuma Sports Sdn Bhd, passed away last night. He was 72.

According to his daughter, Maya Heng, George passed away peacefully at 7.39pm surrounded by his family members.

George's passing comes as a shock to me as I spoke to him several weeks ago and we had planned to meet up once the lockdown was relaxed.

George established his sports apparel shop in Brickfields over three decades ago before moving to 8 Avenue in Petaling Jaya.

Founded by George Heng and his wife Tan Yuet Ching, whom I fondly call Mrs Heng, Mesuma was named after their three daughters – Melissa, Susan and Maya. Their youngest child is William.

His brand was once the official kit for the national contingent at various multi-sporting events. 

He was a down-to-earth man with a big heart who loved food and his Chinese tea. 

Farewell, George. You will be missed.

Deepest condolences to Mrs Heng, Maya, William and the rest of the family. 

Wake service

Nirvana Life Mermorial Center 2, Emerald Suite (Level M2- Room N5), Jalan Dewan Bahasa, Bukit Seputeh, Kuala Lumpur.

June 25: 3pm – 7pm (immediate family members only)
June 26: 11am – 7pm (open to close friends and family)

Cremation
June 27: 11am (immediate family only) at Nirvana Memorial Park, Shah Alam

    Sad news of his passing...he was a larger than life character that made an indelible mark on the local sports industry scene in those fledgling years. I still have so many of his products, going all the way to 1990...
    Deepest condolences to his widow and Maya, and the family.

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak...
