Mr. Ong Kim Koon was just an ordinary Malaysian
A husband, a father, a grandfather to his beloved wife, children and grand children
Like everyone else, he was a truck driver trying to make a living from his occupation
Except, this man STANDS OUT AND UP as one of the greatest Samaritan
He did the extra ordinary FAR BETTER than any of our politicians
He helped a couple who were about to die in an accident
He did it despite the enormous risk he exposed during the course of action
He has not even check the color or religion
Mr. Ong managed to pull the first victim to a safer position
He then tried to pull the first victim's husband
He was later hit by a Toyota Estima all the sudden
To make matters worse, the driver fled the scene despite his/her negligence
Causing serious injuries upon Mr. Ong that leads to his foot amputation
He was suffering from internal bleeding that worsen his condition
He did not make it to even accept a simple "Thank You" as a token of appreciation
Nevertheless, he will forever be remember for his courage beyond imagination
His grand children were calling "Ah Kong, please wake up" that cuts deep into our emotion
His grand children would never get the chance to hug this great gentleman
His children would not be able to take their father for another vacation
His wife would not be able to have wedding anniversary celebration
Perhaps the general public should offer his family the moral support and donation
At least, that would reduce their burden
It would also be nice if DYMM Sultan Selangor can offer him a state award for his dedication
After all, award must only go to DESERVING cases as DYMM Sultan Selangor mentioned
Politicians can also learn from Mr. Ong about nuturing the nation
Instead of inciting hatred just because they wanted to gain support during elections
Mr. Ong was the GENUINE 1 MALAYSIA citizen
He don't talk much about it BUT he prove that 1 Malaysia statement
As for the driver of Toyota Estima, he/she must not be forgiven
If he/she were to drive Mr. Ong to the hospital earlier, situation may be different
The police must take a HARSH STANCE against the driver with SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Put them behind bars and put his/her Toyota Estima up for public auction

Dear Anson, thanks for sharing with us a very touching story on a Wed morning. The late Mr Ong, is truly an exemplary figure for all Malaysians to emulate, helping other fellow Malaysians without discrimination. Mr Ong deserves and award from the ruler, bcoz he saved lives of a family. Come to think of it, that Sharukh Khan really dun deserved any Datukship at all. He had never contributed to anything to this country.
ReplyDeleteMay the soul of Mr Ong R.I.P. and he's now already reborn at the Western Pure Land for all the merits he had accumulated in this life. Namo Amituofo.
The late Mr Ong Kim Koon, also known as Michael by his friends and relatives, was the elder brother of Alex, the air-conditioned vegetarian restaurant owner named Natures, in Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar. What a co-incidence.
ReplyDeleteLets hope DYMM would realize it. If DSSA cannot be given, at least a PJK.
