I had futsal on thursday night, and i was talking to my high school friend, chung lern bout his life and how's he doing, apparently he just got back from aussie, so i was like "where's your gf?" he said she (Nian Ning) will be coming to KL on the following day from penang... And so friday night after clubbing, i got home, i received a shocking news from a closed friend, saying that Nian Ning, has passed away in a bus accident from Penang to KL! i don't want to go into the details how, but it happened at slim river, north south highway!
Here's what on The Star paper...
PENANG: She had the world at her feet but death robbed medical student Lee Nian Ning of a brilliant future.
The straight As student, former state swimmer and accomplished Girl Guide was on the double-decker express bus from Penang to Kuala Lumpur which crashed near Slim River on Friday.
Nian Ning, 21, a Public Service Department (PSD) scholar at the University of New South Wales in Australia who was on her way to visit friends in Kuala Lumpur, was among three passengers who perished when the driver lost control of the bus and slammed into a divider.
“We learnt that the driver had 13 summonses against him. Why had the company not screened him and realised that he was not competent to drive that bus? “I wonder why the authorities still allowed such a monster to roam our streets?” asked Nian Ning's distraught father Lee Hock Chuan, 50, a company human resources director.
He also expressed disappointment over the bus company's reaction to the tragedy.
“They know who the victims are and yet, I have yet to receive a single call from them. There is not a single representative from the company here today to pay respects to my eldest daughter,” he said.
The family is contemplating legal action and Lee appealed to witnesses to come forward. “It won’t bring her back but we just want justice to be done,” he said.
The attractive Nian Ning, who stood 1.72m tall, was a national backwoods cooking champion and had set her sights on becoming a doctor.
She scored straight As in both the UPSR and PMR and obtained 11A1s and one A2 in the SPM exams.
“From a young age, she was so clear about her goal. Even though she had been approached to be a model, the only thing she wanted to be was an orthopaedic surgeon,” said her mother Ong Keep Gim, 48, a teacher.
Friends and family of the young victim paid their respects at her home in Taman Gelugor yesterday.
She was later cremated at the Batu Gantung crematorium.
More than 20 of her closest friends also created a scrapbook with personal messages to their friend.
“She was determined and a perfectionist,” said J.A. Cheng, 20, who was Nian Ning's schoolmate.
“She knew what she wanted in life and achieved her dreams. We will miss her very much.”
Chung Lern and Nian Ning’s families would like all families and friends of the victims, dead or alive, in the Slim River Bus Crash to come forward and join them in taking action against the bus company. Stand up to seek justice for these three innocent individuals, who were all so young and full of life.
If you have a blog, please call out to ANYONE who
knows someone who survived or did not survive
the crash to come forward to join the Lee family.
Make a huge difference, make a huge fuss.
For now, you may contact Lee Chung Lern at chunglern@gmail.com or preferably on his handphone at 012-6670368.
Well i don't know nian ning in person but i've bumped into her and chung lern once at pudu raya, she's very bright, friendly, nice, just like an angel sent from above... SIGH... RIP...
