Official Closure for MH370

Technical Guesstimate with 19th Century Doppler?

Yesterday night 10 pm Malaysian time (24 March 2014), the Malaysian Prime Minister announced that based on sources of reliable satellite data collected and using the Doppler Effect theory, he confirmed formally that MAS flight of MH370 ended tragically at sea in the desolate South Indian Ocean.

Public  Outpouring of Faith Memorabilia 

With that, all grieving relatives as well as participating Search and Rescue nations could make subsequent plans for closure of this tragedy that took the lives of 229 passengers and  10 crew members.

The recovery phase will now begin.

Though no one at the moment knows what really happened on board the fatal plane albeit with all the conspiracy theories and speculation, some almost plausible, swirling around it; the world would have to accept the reality that flight  MH370 has indeed "ended " and has disappeared into the dark depths of the Indian Ocean.

 An Ad Premonition?

This is one gruesome prophecy of MH 370!

That is the first thought that comes to mind!

Is the devil playing tricks on all of us?

Are words of advertisement a premonition of terrible things to come?

14 days and the plane has yet to be found.

The Accused-Gang Rape and Criminal Solicitation

Rape and Criminal  Solicitation

This is one interesting movie about a Assistant District Attorney who plea-bargained a rape case for lesser charges that actually got the same sentence  for the rapists only to be told by the victim that what she did was not enough as she was not consulted on it and she was deem slutty in the public eye.

Realistic acting as a rape victim

Feeling morally wrong, she convinced her office to let those who urged on the rapists to be brought to justice as well by putting the rape victim on the witness stand to be corroborated by another independent witness.
The court found for the rape victim and those who raped her got the sentence extended to the full stretch of 5 years.

An interesting movie that add a twist to how justice is being served especially in  gang rapes and also for those who encouraged the act through the charge and conviction of criminal solicitation.

The Assistant District Attorney, Kathryn Murphy

Kelly McGillis stars as Kathryn Murphy and Jodie Foster played the rape victim, Saras Tobias.

Good movie.

The LPI AGM with Edwin

Chew Sang Peng-Wake and Cremation

Life Goes On

I and my wife started for Nirvana Memorial Park Shah Alam to pay our last respects to our buddy friend, Chew Sang Peng who departed us so suddenly.

Born on 10 November 1946, he had a life on earth short of 68 years old.

But I believe he had one rich life that he had lived to the hilt in his own way!

He had more life in his years!

We (me and the wife) started off at 11.20 am and got there to Nirvana in record time.

Nobody was there at the crematorium and so we did our walk-about at the park looking at the columbriums and other facilities. Soon, a staff of Nirvana helped us get back to the crematorium by giving both of us a ride in his buggy car.

The hearse carrying the remains of Chew then arrived with gospel music being played from the hearse station wagon.

A bus carrying the New Life Restoration Church congregation soon arrived too and so did many of Chew's relatives.

Thankfully, Mrs Chew got Chew's sister and his daughter Sarah to fly back from Sydney.

Mrs Chew told us that she spoke quietly to Chew pleading him to just let go and he did just that at 8.08 pm yesterday night (17 March).

The body was then taken to the mortuary managed by Nirvana in Salak South before it was brought to Shah Alam today for the cremation.

After an eulogy from his childhood friend Mr Wong, we sang Amazing Grace and Because of You  in full gusto and in unison. The church pastor then delivered a short message of the afterlife and that  we must rejoice as Chew is in a better place.

We then filed one by one by his coffin, to take a last look at his  face ever so calm in sweet slumber.

Chew's sisters cried bitterly at his going.

As if on cue, we placed our white chrysanthemums offerings on the coffin.

Then the coffin rolled into the crematorium oven to be burned.

Apparently it will take only 40 minutes to burn.

Mrs Chew told us that she will collect the ashes tomorrow to be strewn into the South China Sea.

No ashes will be kept in an urn in memorial. That's the way Chew wanted it as his last wish.

Before we could leave, it rained dogs and cats.

To me, the heavy rain is a sign that God is with Chew and symbolises that a great child of God has just passed on into the heavenly realm.

Farewell my friend as you find your new place on the right hand side of God in the heavenly city of Zion.

Good-bye.

The Passing On of Chew Sang Peng

Columbrium

It was distressing to receive an sms after midnight from his wife that he has passed on in the late evening of 17 March 2014.

I knew that the palliative treatment regime was a slow go for Sang Peng as they reduced medication to his body for a comfortable exit and departure.

By Sunday, he was transferred to the 11th Floor of the Menara Utama; an indication that the end is near and it will be quick.

Today, he will be cremated at the Nirvana Crematorium in Section 21 , Shah Alam at 1 pm;some ashes will be kept in an urn at the nearby columbarium while the rest will be disposed at sea by the funeral home on behalf of his family.

Crematorium

Sadly his children, Sarah and Daniel will not be here to see the father off as they are in faraway Australia.

Today saw a passing of a great friend.

Good-bye.
