Loss of a Long-time SEACS Member

pbjwelch2026-05-27T18:07:10+08:00

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of a long-term member and supporter of SEACS - Freddie Oh Keng Chin, who passed away on 21 May 2026. Freddie was a member of Singapore's Foreign Service, serving in overseas posts for many years (including a stint with Tommy Koh at the UN in New York City), which gave him the opportunity to build a variety of collections, but one of his favorites was his ceramics. He was generous with his time and knowledge, and a genuinely warm, friendly and supportive member who was always ready to lend a hand and welcome a new member to the Society.
