Ngo Guek Kim (Bukit Brown)

Ngo Guek Kim passed away at the age of 21 on 16 July 2602. (The year 2602 is following the Japanese Koki Calendar which translates to 1942)

Thanks to Chua Seng Chwee i got a bit more insight about Ngo Guek Kim and her siblings. Ngo Guek Kim was the eldest, followed by Ngo Guek Kim (1 year younger) and finally Ngo Guek Yen. Ngo Guek Kim died during the Japanese Occupation due to stomach cancer with no proper medicine for treatment.
