This 2 videos of interviewing Mr Tham brought back so many fond memories. We are truly so blessed to have him. I remember when my family had financial issues back then and I couldn't bear to ask my mum for extra money to buy a calculator for math. When Mr Tham know about it, he got me the calculator right away. He didn't just give me a calculator, he gave me a chance. A chance to study well and it motivated me to thrive. I graduated NT with mostly As and 1 B. I continued to make education my first pirority. Fast forward now, I am a first class honours degree holder that I can be proud of. I am truly thankful to have him as our form teacher who cared so deeply for each and everyone of us. Thank you Mr Tham ❤️

Really enjoying this solo series! You’re a great host Dew, able to make your guests feel comfortable even while asking candid/difficult questions and somehow still managing to keep things fun and humorous throughout 🔥

Im grateful & appreciative of u, Mr Tham for being however uv bn towards all ur ex-students. It’s singapore’s loss to hv lost u. I cant get over d failed appraisal uv had for being d best educator/protector. U went miles & beyond for them kids all. Ur parents had to thrive to hv u fully-schooled to be a teacher whom had toiled daily for ur students only to be ruined over an unjust appraisal & ur future as a teacher went down d drain juz like dat. Wicked. I hope these episodes uv had with d successful Dew, ur ex-student u can be proud of, be part of ur resume to better qualify u whom is already qualified to be whatever u want to be in dis life. Thank u for existing, Sir. May u, wife & family forever be blessed with all d good life has to offer. Hoping all ur ex-students remember ur deeds of endless kindness & reach out to u till now & in all their growing years to come.. 🙏🏼

Its the most confucius of places. You need to toe the line, as he mentioned. And ESPECIALLY so if you are a young teacher

in terms of whether we do we take our teachers for granted, it depends though. I had brain/head injury back when I was in sec 4 which was a decade ago. throughout the years I had memory loss, I totally forgot about the accident as I spend the first few years after the accident just lying on bed watching tv shows thereafter I would just sit on the living room sofa and watch all the local drama, k drama, countless KZbin videos and picked up diy handicraft . it started of of muscle shrinking and forgetting my way home. I kept throwing up and barely eat, when sleep deprivation hits, I had trouble understanding lessons and brave my courage to tell my teacher I was struggling, he told me to go see doctor over at imh so that I could get extra time during exam, but I kept getting bullied by my classmates daily with endless pranks, was followed home by them as when I closed the door, they would kept banging on the door while laughing and they moment I opened the door they have already ran to the lift. got a little depressed and scrap the idea of going to school as I have very strong feeling of danger. the danger refers to feeling unsafe as I told my teacher about it, he laughed and said they're just joking and ignored me. I had memory loss so whenever someone mentioned school, I would have unpleasant feeling about it. when I was told by my doctor after seeing her right after the accident for nine years, last year, she said I have pituitary gland damaged, as throughout the years she always said she very sure I have brain tumour even though the MRI scan I did didnt show any issues. thereafter I kept dreaming blurry vision version of the accident. it repeatedly daily for months until I asked one of my classmates if she remembered, she didnt saw the accident but saw I was walking to the general office myself and head home and since then the next time I came back to school with walking difficulty due to muscle soft like jelly. she mentioned that she estimably knew who was the one who did it as it came from the group of class bullies who also bullied her which marked our sec4 depressing one. she told me that the reason why I got into such mess where I got head injury and now pituitary gland damaged, was due to form teacher's cant be bothered attitude, which make me realised it all just make sense now, I remembered he was always hiding in the pe equipment room during pe lesson. my classmate told me that my mom seek help from the wrong person as teacher was the type that doesnt do anything about it, but general office only allowed her to get help from teacher which she visited the teacher for help on why I suddenly didnt want to go to school. then I Facebook message him as I somehow suddenly remembered all of us in the class bought insurance that year, he mentioned the claims have to be done on that year. I told him the accident happened during his lesson, he immediately gave me angry face emoji and blocked me. I was still going through pain from the brain every now and then, I had to ask around, majority told me just to ignore the teacher's terrible response/attitude as majority expected such response from him, which I didnt as I remember he was okay type of teacher which gives me a very fatherly vibe of teacher. I had strong feeling that pituitary gland damaged was due to the accident, as else why I would have walking difficulty after the accident. my doctor insisted that I have it since birth, but I googled search which led me to head injury which was why I slowly managed to remember everything. because right before last year, I completely have zero reclamation of that year. then last month I saw my uncle who was hospitalised as he have heart failure, the doctor prescribed him potassium chloride for just few time, which I have been taking the medication for a decade, so I was very curious and google search it since doctor and pharmacist never once detailed explain what was this medication were for, and shockingly I found it was patient with heart failure or head injury. from there it made me very sure that the dream I had repeatedly for many months were really what I have went through. it all made sense now because after the accident I had very frequent large amount of nose bleeding, I asked my doctor who said it was normal, which I just live with it, when it finally stopped having nose bleeding, there I was told pituitary gland damaged.

I was having a tough time because my mum was having issues and my teacher, Mr Samsul Kasan really helped me get away to go for visits and also guide me for my academic studies. So so blessed!
