I was helping in temple for the since Thurs for the funeral of Chief... temple was packed with people... It wasn't only buddhist who came and pay their last respect 2 chief but also people of other religion like muslims, christian, hindu n etc who came 2 Brickfield temple to pay their last respect 2 chief...

The cremation was held in Nirvana Memorial Park in semenyih... there were around 130busses and a number of private vehicle who drove all the way down to Semenyih... It rain very heavily during the cremation ceremony... as we believe that rain is a good sign... it shows that Chief has the blessings of the dewa's and they are all welcoming him... even though it was raining heavily but the cremation went on smoothly... farewell our beloved chief, our beloved teacher...
