KUALA LUMPUR: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng came to pay his last respects at the wake of Balakong assemblyman Eddie Ng at the Xiao En centre on Jalan Kuari, here.
He arrived at around 12pm on Saturday (July 21) and spent about an hour speaking to the grieving family members.
"We are all having a hard time accepting that he is gone from us. He was loved by everyone who knew him as he was truly a man of the people," he told reporters after the visit.
Lim, who is also DAP secretary-general, said Selangor DAP will offer any assistance needed to the family as well as a contribution that will be announced later.
.Ng is believed to have been on his way back to his service centre when his four-wheel drive vehicle slammed into the back of a lorry on the Grand Saga Expressway during the 12.40am incident on Friday (July 20).
Ng, 40, was killed on the spot, triggering another by-election in Selangor, the second one in some nine weeks since the May 9 polls.
The DAP assemblyman is survived by his wife and three children aged 13, 15 and 17.
The wake is at the Xiao En centre on Jalan Kuari and the funeral will be on Tuesday (July 24).- Mkini
