Double blow for dad as son's ashes robbed


A 58-year-old man was devastated to learn that his son had died in a car accident. But in another cruel twist of fate, his late son's ashes were robbed.

According to a China Press report today, the grief-stricken father, identified only as Yu, had traveled to Johor Bahru from Sabah with his daughter and son-in-law. 

His son, Yu Wen Sing, 22, had died when his car burst into flames following an accident near Tangkak on July 14.

After having his remains cremated, the family left for the Senai airport on July 17.

On their way to the airport, the car they were traveling in stopped at a petrol station, where tragedy struck for the second time.

Four robbers armed with parang and hammers approached the car on motorbikes.

One of them opened the rear door, and snatched the box which contained the ashes that were stored in a jar.

Yu, who said the robber had pried the box away from his daughter, added that the box could have been mistaken for containing valuables.

The father and his friends searched in vain for the jar around the area yesterday, hoping that the robbers would have discarded it after discovering the contents.

DAP Stulang assemblyman Andrew Chen Kah Eng, who participated in the search, urged the public to look out for the jar containing the ashes. 

Yu, on the other hand, pleaded with the robbers to return his son's ashes.
