and cleaned (unintentionally symbolic!) to early Morning Raga music, followed by Morricone\u2019s poignant music for \u201cThe Mission\u201dcaptured on video (see below) as we sighted the sun bursting from the clouds.

He and his colleague Jonathan Christian Chin from the Singapore Institute of Architects, (together with Lee Peng Hui, son of my former architectural associate Lee Kip Lin) were in Penang to archive material, and topically about my Starpoint building, recently recommended for heritage conservation, where Bucky had often stayed on his visits to Singapore. Also from Singapore were Jona Pang, Ali Ibrahim and Joo Hock, regular enthusiasts of Bucky Jona had been Graduate of the \u201cMoney &amp; You\u201d programme, and has been finding fresh perspectives about Bucky, and we began to discuss ideas about establishing \u201cBuckyLink\u201d for future regional connectivy for those genuinely inspired by RBF. Another regular was Maryam Abdullah who came to advance the design and publication of my long overdue memoirs \u201cConfluecing with Bucky\u201d.

His two portraits of RBF at Bellevue (made in 2015 and 2020.) will be prized within my collection of his works. In his honour, memorial events are being organised in Singapore at the Private Museum on the 9th August, with and at the Penang State Art Gallery on 15 th August, with the presence of his widow Sue and family members.
