DAILY REFLECTION

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭

In the face of life’s unpredictability, we are reminded that what matters most is not the length of our days but the faithfulness of our walk. Each choice, each act of love, each moment of courage becomes part of the testimony we leave behind.

The tragic passing of my dear friend, Paul Wong Chee Meng, in Thailand on 22 November 2025 has left a deep ache in our hearts. Even in our grief, we pause to honour the life he lived. As the founder of Mega Star Arena, Paul was known for his passion, dedication, and influence in Malaysia’s entertainment industry. But beyond his achievements, it was his courage, perseverance, and care for others that defined his journey.

Paul’s fight was not only against the struggles of this world, but often for others — standing with friends, supporting family, and offering kindness in quiet, unseen ways. He was not perfect, but he was faithful in the race set before him.

None of us expected his journey to end so soon, nor in such a tragic way. His race, though shorter than we hoped, was marked by meaningful relationships, shared memories, laughter, and moments that shaped all who knew him. Even in uncertainty, his life reflected resilience and a willingness to keep moving forward.

Now we face the painful silence of his absence, but we hold onto the hope that he rests in the hands of the One who sees, knows, and receives every soul with compassion. While Paul’s earthly race has ended, his legacy of love, friendship, and courage continues in each of us. His life reminds us to live purposefully, to love deeply, and to run our own race with faith.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭ reminds us that every believer is called to run their race faithfully, so that at the end of life we too can say: I fought, I finished, and I kept the faith.

“We must run with purpose, not like someone "beating the air".
