OUTSTANDING BARTLEYANS
Tow Kiat was also active in various school activities, including sports and the arts. His love for Bartley continued after he left School. He continues to play an active part in the OBA and was its President some years ago. He claims to be a true blue Bartleyan as he received all his early education in Bartley, from Primary 1 to Pre-U 2 (1956 to 1967). Tow Kiat read Law at the University of Singapore and graduated in 1972. Since then, he has been a practicing lawyer in his own firm. He was elected to the Law Society Council to represent the senior lawyers in 1991 to 1992. He believes that an education from a neighbourhood school, like Bartley, makes a good foundation for social awareness. Thus, he has constantly been active in social and political issues. He subscribes whole-heartedly to George Bernard Shaw's saying that “education should produce individuals and not units of society”. Recalling a line from a John Keat's poem, “Death the Leveler” that “Kings and paupers must die…”, he is constantly reminded of his own mortality. However, he fervently believes that a man must live respected and die regretted. |
