Former Mediacorp artiste Dasmond Koh has been a mentor and brotherly figure to the late Aloysius Pang.

Being Pang's manager at NoonTalk Media, Koh has been fronting interviews with the media and carrying out liaison work with Pang's elder brother, Kenny Pang.

Given their close relationship, Koh was visibly devastated by Pang's death when speaking to the media on Jan. 24 evening, right after he came back from New Zealand with the elder Pang to coordinate arrangements for the wake.

Carry on with work commitments

Despite being grief-stricken, Koh braced himself and continued with his hosting commitments for at least two shows on Jan. 26.

He was spotted hosting a Chinese New Year event at Yew Tee Point on Saturday afternoon.

Koh remained professional by putting on a smile and agreeing to photo requests at the event.

However, one can still see a tinge of sadness and weariness on Koh's face.

Following the event at Yew Tee, Koh went on to host the weekly Saturday evening The Sheng Siong Show with fellow host Kym Ng.

While Koh was away, fellow NoonTalk colleagues such as Xu Bin, Zong Zi Jie and Kimberly Chia were helping out at the wake.

Respect and concerned

Koh was spotted walking into the main hall of the wake at around 11pm after a day of hosting commitments.

Koh's professionalism has earned the respect of many Singaporeans who are also concerned about his well-being during this tough period.

At Sheng Siong show, despite feeling awful, he still put on a smile to host, bring fun and laughter to everyone. Really very professional and responsible, he's great!

Respect your professionalism, my family turn on the TV sharp at 9pm and we saw you! Dasmond, take care!

Dasmond, I was worried that you might not be able to host but still got to see you appear in the show at 9pm. You look worn-out but you still gave in your all to host the show, give you ?for your professionalism

You have become skinner, Dasmond. He is indeed a great brother and boss.

Dasmond, it's been hard on you. Aloysius is really fortunate to have met you. He will definitely be touched by what you have done for him. It pains me to watch you being so professional and putting on a jovial front during the show. Thank you for putting in so much effort for Aloysius. Please take care! Rest in peace, Aloysius. You will live in the heart of your loved ones. GO to a place where there is no sadness but only joy. I'll see you there next time.
