I’ve been getting updated news about Bro. Vincent from my sister since she is in Ipoh (but I’m not) and she will normally meet up with Bro. Vincent nearly every weekend in St. Michael’s Church.
Hopefully Bro. Vincent can receive his citizenship as soon as poosible. May God Bless you!!

Dato’ Bro Vincent is well. The bacterial infection has been cured with treatment at Ipoh GH.

For those who don’t know, he was involved in a car accident a few months ago but he was not injured. A new Toyota Vios has been bought to replace the damaged Proton Wira. Mr Koon and 3 other old boys contributed towards the purchase of the car.

The SMI chapel is going to be repaired and renovated at a cost of RM8,000. Instead of getting one or two big donors, it was decided to get small donations so that more people can contribute.

Donors can donate as little as RM10 towards this project. Cheques should be addressed to “SMI Development Fund”.

For all those concerned people on this thread, Brother Vincent (or more appropriately, Dato’ Brother Vincent) is in fine shape despite his advanced age.

This report by Koon has been taken many by surprise and may have caused some uneasiness among those who are acquainted with him.

Dato’ Vincent expresses his heartfelt thanks to all the kind folks out there and wishes them well.

The problem regarding his citizenship is about to be resolved. It was just a minor irritant, he recounted.

Lets hope this gets the publicity and give our mentor the dignity and recognition long delayed. Here is someone who has dedicated himself to malaysian education and i am sure there are a lot of Michaelians in the right areas here and abroad who can make this wish come true

I’m sad to hear the news that Bro. Vincent in such manner. All ex-michaelian who are still resides and working in Ipoh, please spent your free time on weekend to pay a short visit to Bro. Vincent in La Salle Centre Ipoh. Could help him with form of monetary so that he can continue treatment in Hospital. He used to cycle around in Ipoh almost everyday. I’m sure he would be disappointed to have such bacterial infection on his feet. Alma Mater…..

The circumstances of Bro Vincent’s transfer to Ipoh General Hospital, and his wish and application for Malaysian citizenship are not as what was written.

The Datukship conferred was an appreciation effort of old boys and not recognition by the government. Certain influential old boys put up Bro Vincent’s name before this article came out.

Congrats Dato’ Vincent Corkery on you being bestowed the Darjah Dato’Mahkota Perak by the Sultan. It’s in recognition of your valuable and selfless service to the residents of Ipoh whom had the privilege of being tutored by you. Hopefully, this will add weight to your application to be a citizen of the country.
