In Memory of Malaysia Bird Photographer : Choo Tse Chien

I opened Nelson Khor's Facebook this morning and got sad and shocking news.
Choo Tse Chien passed away yesterday at 2 p.m.  He had a cardiac arrest at the young age of 41.
I knew him from a few birding trips at Fraser's Hill and Bukit Tinggi. Wonderful nice chap, and he sent me two CDs of the bird song of SEA free of charge. The Bird Photography community will surely miss you...
Condolences to all family members.

This picture was taken by him at Bukit Tinggi while waiting for Orange-headed Thrush in January 2010.

This picture was taken by me at Frazer's Hill while waiting for Rufous-browed Flycatcher
