Not all of us know that this tailor was a great tailor that made suit for Malaysian contingent since the Southeast Asian Peninsular (SEAP) Games in the 1960's until the Southeast Asia (SEA) Games in the 2000's. He was a humble and kind tailor, but his works were the great masterpiece and pride of Malaysian Contingent. Mr Yee Hai Yuen was his name and he was the owner of Chew Tailor that was operated since 1960's in Jalan Dang Wangi (previously known as Campbell Road). His tailor works was neat and long lasting. Unfortunately his legacy did not last long when he has to close down his tailor shop in 2014 and say goodbye to his tailor works. It was so sad that his legacy has to come to an end because of his age and health and also the drastic increase of shop rental fee of his shop. However, his legacy of tailor works still remained in our minds as among the greatest masterpiece of tailor works for Malaysian contingent. May God bless you Mr Yee Hai Yuen and I hope I have a chance to meet you and storied more about your tailor works legacy.
