'When working at the YMCA, I used to have my drinks at the mamak stall, next to the China Press building, and see 'the giant' of this man passing by, to and from Siew Dor flats.'Harris J Possible: I offer my condolence to the family of my late friend, MGG Pillai. Genga, as I know him, was a warm friend after I met him in the Balai Berita bookshop at a shopping complex somewhere in Jalan Bukit Bintang in 1982. We were by coincidence browsing the magazine section. He started the conversation and asked me how I was. He stated he knew my dad from his days in Johor Bahru and had met him recently and along the way encouraged me to study in the UK, where I remain today, though I'm still a Malaysian.
