Weeping Journalist at Beng Hock's Funeral

Sending Beng Hock on his final journey. Just came back from Beng Hock's funeral in the afternoon. Reached JB home at around 4pm. Did night work yesterday until 5am this morning, then left JB for Alor Gajah at 5.30am. Totally exhausted and 'pengsan' for a few hours. Anyway I am not going to talk about the proceedings or which leaders shows up or something like that. Those are already covered in the media. I want to share on how I was deeply touched by a female journalist. As she was taking notes of the eulogy, she was also weeping at continuously. She deeply felt every word of what was being said. At times the eulogy got more emotional, she too cried even harder. She had made a truly lasting impression on me. The teary eyed journalist. The teary eyed journalist.

A very commendable effort of you guys to pay the last respect to Beng Hock, for going that last mile with him. We shall not let him die in vain.
