In a condolence letter to Mr Kwek's widow, Alice, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that he and his wife, Ho Ching, were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the tycoon's passing while in Turkey for the G-20 Summit. "Leng Joo left us suddenly when he had so much more to give. Singapore has lost a champion of the environment, leader of corporate social responsibility, and a fine photographer with a big heart."
