In another post in Facebook group Death Kopitiam Singapore, a former student of Chia’s described Chia as a “truly dedicated teacher who played a key role during my secondary school days”. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The user commented: “I remember (she was) always well-prepared for her lessons, putting in effort to help us understand, do our best and the many consultation sessions together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chia died on April 16 according to an obituary on Obits.sg. The school did not mention the cause of death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The school’s website listed Chia under the Mathematics and Principles of Accounts Department as a Flexi-Adjunct teacher.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flexi-Adjunct teachers typically supplement the teaching force to help schools meet short-term manpower needs with more flexible working hours. They may have different responsibilities from full-time teachers, reported The Straits Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
