SUBANG JAYA: Taylor's University (TU) staff and students paid respects to the late auxiliary police Sivakumar Nantha Gobala Krishnan at the Remembrance Corner held at Student Life Centre on 5 October.
The event was held in memory of the late Sivakumar who had a sudden heart attack on campus that left him comatose for 23 days before passing away on 30 September.
Hailed as a responsible and friendly auxiliary police, Sivakumar won praises from colleagues and students for taking the initiative to escort PJS 7 area students’ home at night.
Auxiliary Police Sub-inspector Singaraveloo Renganathan said, “He was mainly stationed at the pedestrian gate. We only get praises, never complaints whenever he was there.”
“I still can't find a replacement like him,” he added.
Taylor's Business School student Samantha Lau Khoi Yan, 21, said whenever she forgets her access card, he would let her pass through the gate because he recognised her.
Lau added that Sivakumar was the only auxiliary police who spoke to her.
“He would remind me to keep my laptop in bag instead of holding it when walking home. He has always been caring,” she said.
School of Architecture, Building and Design student Muhammad Muzhammil Azham, 21, who knows Sivakumar for over three years, shared the same camaraderie.
“We used to chat for hours sharing life stories. I truly lost a great friend,” he said.
Arranged by the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) and Security departments, visitors offered kind words on the condolence book and contributed to the memorial fund which will be handed over to the late Sivakumar's family.
