S'pore secondary school teacher dies at 55, never gave up on 'problem students' & touched lives of countless students

Lau Chu Beng, a Physics teacher at Yusof Ishak Secondary School (YISS) in Singapore, died at the age of 55, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of countless students, colleagues, and parents. Announced on August 7 via the school's Facebook page, the announcement described Lau as a "steady, guiding presence" through many chapters of the school's journey, and highlighted his instrumental role in establishing the Centre for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE).

Former students, such as data engineer Chen Minghui and Huang, shared how Lau went above and beyond to help struggling students, using engaging teaching methods and personal attention to help them succeed in their O-Level exams. Despite the school's relocation from Bukit Batok to Punggol, Lau remained committed to teaching, enduring daily traffic jams to continue his work in Punggol.

The school expressed its deep sadness at Lau's passing and thanked him for his dedication and the lasting mark he left on the YISS family.
