His legacy is marked by quiet conviction and devotion to Lasallian ideals.  

Francis Loh Siew Khan was a respected Lasallian educator who joined St Joseph’s Institution (SJI) in 1955 and served in various educational leadership roles — teacher, senior assistant, and Vice Principal — before retiring in 2003 after nearly five decades of service.

In recognition of his dedicated service, he received the Loyal Lasallian Service Award in 1999, the Lasallian Distinguished Service Award in 2002, and was honoured by the Brothers as a Benefactor and Affiliated Member of the Institute upon his retirement.

His witness remains a powerful example for the Lasallian family.
