Shih Kien/Sek Gin - Still alive??

Does anyone know if this actor's still alive? I've never heard otherwise, and if so, he's got to be well into his ninties by now.

I think Sek Kin is still alive. He was last year in April when the HK Avenue of the Stars was inaugurated. However, I also recall that he was described as infirm and unable to attend a life time award. Sanney's site is unavailable at the moment but the details should be there.

Here's a 2001 photo of him with Andy Lau

At the 2003 HKFA Awards he and Walter Tso Tat Wah received "Professional Spirit" award and it didn't mention that it was given posthumously.

One source, the HKFA, says that he was born in 1913.
