RIP Mdm Ker Ah Kin of Long Hwee Book Store

Thanks for making all Queenstown kids fall in love with books and reading.

We will always remember your witty banter with the seamstress.
We will always remember your kind reminders to take our lunches and cross the road safely after school.
We will always remember your soft, sweet smile.
We will always remember you..

Bye Bye
