A Tribute To A Friend

David Leong
Aka: Magic8

A true samurai Journalist
KFCC News Editor and Reviewer 2004-2006

David's love for Asian cinema affected all of our lives on a daily basis. His knowledge of film had a deep sense of nostalgic appreciation that may never be rivaled. Day after day he dedicated himself to giving each and every one of us exactly what it was that made us happy. His uncanny ability to stick to his guns and fight for what he believed in is a rare and celebrated quality in our book. We have suffered a tragic loss with the passing of David. We hope that we can all look back and enjoy his amazing work...and smile. -The KFCC Team



David has passed away, due to natural cause during the weekend of March 18 2006.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

David Leong had enough passion for his work for the whole team, and his dedication and love was one of the prime reasons that KFCC is what it is today. His uplifting presence will be sorely missed by all.

- Via con Dios, Magic8. I didn't know him well, but I will certainly miss him being around. He was always really nice to me, and he worked hard to post all those news stories on the front page. I still don't know how he did it. There were lots of times I would find a story that I thought hadn't been posted here, and lo and behold he had it on the front page. - Joshua
