Afterworld wedding for crash victims - Their love will continue

Afterworld wedding for crash victims

BUTTERWORTH: Their love will continue.

A woman who was rescued from a van in a road accident on Sunday here has succumbed to her injuries, and there are plans to bury her next to her boyfriend who died in the same tragedy.

Market trader Loh Gaik Ting, 25, died at 2am yesterday at the Seberang Jaya Hospital due to excessive damage to internal organs.

Her boyfriend Lim Kui Tiang, 25, was burnt to death in the accident that occurred along Jalan Bagan Lallang here. Loh’s death brings the number of fatalities to three.

The couple were travelling in the van that collided head-on with another vehicle during the 6.40am incident. The driver of the other vehicle, A. Mohan, 26, died on the spot.

Loh’s brother Fook Ngen, 29, said there was a plan for Loh and Lim to be buried here.

“I have spoken to Lim’s family and they seemed receptive to the idea.

“Since my sister and Lim already had plans to get married next year, we might even consider a wedding for them in the afterworld,” he said at the hospital mortuary here.

Loh’s body will be taken back to her hometown in Kaki Bukit, Perlis, where a three-day wake would be held before the body is brought back here on Oct 20 for burial a day later.

On another matter, Fook Ngen appealed to the public to return his sister’s pouch containing her handphone and documents.

“I do not know whether the pouch had been burnt or stolen. I have asked the police but they said they have not seen it.

“Without my sister’s identity card, we will face difficulty securing her death certificate and name transfer for her car,” he said.

Those who have seen the wallet can contact Fook Ngen at 012-4876987.
