PTE Tutong tutors, together with Badan Kebajikan PTE Tutong, held a donation presentation in remembrance of the late Cg Sherman Tan Ka Liang. The gathering was attended by Cg Sherman's father, mother and sister.
The occasion featured speeches by the Principal of PTE Tutong, Muhd Shahnofazli bin Hj Sabli, followed by Cg Sherman's colleagues, Cg Teo Kui Sheng and Cg Hjh Azrin Hj Bolhassan, who shared their memories and reflections. The family's appreciation was conveyed through a speech by Sherman's sister, Miss Vivien Tan.
In a touching gesture, the family decided to return the donation to PTE Tutong in Cg Sherman's name. The contribution will be kept by the school for the benefit of the school and its students. The family also generously sponsored the refreshment, which is traditionally provided by the school.
Remembering Cg Sherman
Cg Sherman passed away on Sunday, 4 October 2026, his final resting place is at the Tutong Chinese Cemetery.
Throughout his teaching career, Sherman served at Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina 'Othman (SMSO) before joining PTE Tutong. He was particularly remembered for his role as the teacher in charge of the Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP) and his contributions to student activities.
Beyond his professional duties, Cg Sherman was known as a friendly and sociable colleague. He often took the initiative to organise food outings and gatherings with colleagues from his department, creating opportunities to strengthen friendships and camaraderie.
Although he is no longer with us, his contributions, kindness and cherished memories will remain in the hearts of the PTE Tutong community.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his family be granted strength and comfort during this difficult time.
