Tragic Accident in Ladakh, India
further from my post below
Yesterday, a tragic accident involving Malaysian devotees occurred in Ladakh, India. As of now, the authorities have confirmed the demise of three of our friends – Sis Julie Ang Ee Lee, the tour organizer, Sis Tan Guat Gnoh (GG Tan), and Sis Lee Ah Yem (Mrs. Teh). At the time of this report, one other friend – Sis Jennie Cheong – is still missing, while Sis Reena Lim Bee Hong is injured and is hospitalized.
The party is part of a group of Malaysian devotees visiting Ladakh from 21 – 31 August to provide aid to the Ladakhi people through the Ladakh Maha Bodhi Society headed by Ven. Sanghasena. Ladakh itself is a district in Kashmir, Northern India, nestled in the Himalayan Range. It borders Tibet to the East and Pakistan to the West. The region is very remote, hilly and rugged. The people there are among the poorest economically in India.
While traveling on a mountainous stretch of road out of Leh (the district capital and nearest town), the vehicle taken by the unfortunate party plunged into a deep ravine. The rest of the group, which consists of 40 participants, were traveling in other vehicles, and are confirmed safe. Nevertheless, we believe they must be traumatized by the whole incident.

you can be sad for the time being
sad but true life does go on
we will remember the friendly Mrs Teh
we will remember the nice cooking Mrs Teh
we will remember her always in my mind
I will remember the previous secretary always ask me to pass her claim to her
I will remember she is only 3/4 of my height
I will remember she is a very very nice yet low profile person
