Just came back from Nirvana Memorial, Salak Selatan to pay last respect to Mr Ooi Chwen Ren, ex Regional Executive headed PABW Northern Region (Gombak and KL). This is a first time, I went to a non-muslim's funeral, the tradition and ceremony may be different from us, muslims but the sadness and pain of losing someone very dear to you is still the same.
It torn me to acknowledge that I have not make time to keep in touch with him after we went our separate ways like 7-8 years ago, not a phone call or any attempt made to find him in Facebook. How we always take things for granted...
Anyway, its good to know that he is very much loved and respected not only by his family and relatives, but by his peers, friends and staff. Parlour 18, 1st Floor, Nirvana Memorial just now was packed with those who wanted to pay their last respect to the late Mr Ooi, 2 buses were chartered for his staff to come down from Kelantan. Wow! Mr Ooi!! you deserved this grand farewell!
Rest in peace, Mr Ooi! It is an honour to have knowing and working with you.
xoxo
