DURING his
visit to Bali last weekend Peter Record played rugby for two
teams that suffered serious losses in the Kuta attack, the
Hong Kong Football Club and the Singapore Cricket Club. He
was a regular member of the former, and when the latter was
a man short he was only too happy to step in.
A business consultant with a master's degree in Asian anthropology
from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London,
Record travelled around Indonesia as an aid worker in the
early 1990s. He returned to the country on several occasions
to play in the annual Bali Tens tournament.
Originally from Fulham in West London, he had spent the
past seven years in Hong Kong working in market research
and management consultancy for the banking sector, where
his anthropological skills were put to good use looking
at the human aspect of people within institutions.
A quiet and calm man, he was described by friends as the
sort of guy you would put your faith in if you ever had
to go into battle.
He was passionate about rugby, and was close friends with
Clive Walton, who also died, and Dan Miller, who is still
missing, with whom he went to the Bali Tens tournament two
years ago as members of the HKFC Vandals squad. He is survived
by his partner, Jasmine.
