Never met the guitar genius before but heard so much about him, and somehow, I was told he was from Batu Gajah! At the moment, I have yet to check with local friends about this apparent incorrect information which I had been passing round. Nobody corrected me, including Dr. Lim, who organized St. Joseph Church's fund-raising dinner recently, who had tried to get him to play for the event. Even my sister-in-law, when I asked if she knew Paul said she had seen him play in a school event, which was why I could not believe initially, the fact that he was only 51, as their age difference made it incredible. But Paul was in fact a talented guitarist at a very young age!
Two well known bloggers have links to some of his videos, including one with Time magazine's write-up on him:

This morning, I asked a retired teacher, Peter Wong about Paul, and he confirmed Paul was from MTD, Batu Gajah, and that his father was a dresser at the hospital. Peter's impression of Paul's father was that of a childhood fear of the injections! Because Peter was from MTD as well, he said he knows their old house used to be next to a pond! So I was right after all.

Hi Uncle KS, which "sister in law" knows him?

Hi Uncle KS, not sure if my first comment made it to your post, but I was asking which "sister in law" is being referenced that knows this guy?
The youngest, even that, the age difference of 9 seem improbable... unless in Form 6 when Paul was only 10? Just for the sake of accuracy, I need to confirm this.
