It been a rather hectic and strange week of work involving two separate but equally impactful deaths. One was that of a 22-year-old Koh Keat Lee, the son of a high ranking police officer who perished in high rise fire at his home. The other was is the unresolved death of a 32-year-old Teoh Hock Beng, the political assistant of a politician, who fell to his death from a high rise building.
The two may have had lived separate lives yet their deaths were connected to Malacca somehow. It was unfortunate and tragic that both lives had been cut short in their prime.
Keat Lee, a Japanese chef who loved playing the electric guitar and Manchester United Football Club, was to have gone to Japan recently to honed his culinary skills. Hock Beng was to have gotten married soon and was eagerly waiting the birth of his two-month-old child. Now, all their dreams and plans are no more.
Heart wrenching was witnessing the grief of their parents and family members, in particular their mothers. So much expectation and hope, all gone without a word or reason. The pain and anguish of loss must be unbearable and one I am unable to fathom.
For the souls of the two young men, may God in all His mercy and love, forgive their transgressions and accept them into the presence of His Light. As death is merely the beginning, may they rest in peace and rise to everlasting joy in the life that is to come.
For their families, I pray that their pain and grief are comfort with the passing of time. May they find understanding that will allow God's peace to flow in their hearts.
For the living, life is short...make the best of it and love as much as possible while there is still life.
To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace and Love.
