KOTA KINABALU: Information on events leading to the formation of the county in the 1960s are now lost with the death of Tan Sri Peter Lo on New Year's Day, says former chief minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee.
Yong, who is also Sabah Progressive Party president, said Lo's insights and experiences, including as Sabah first Chinese chief minister, were never fully tapped.
Yong said a few days before he became Chief Minister in May 1996, he met Lo at his Tanjung Aru residence here to learn from his experience of being a Chinese chief minister in a state with multiple races. Lo, a Hakka from Sabah's east coast Sandakan, was born on May 19,1923, and was among Sabah's first lawyers. He received his Bachelor of Law Degree from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in 1956.
