Email interview with Ms Yenny Young, wife of Mr Tong Kok Wai
Temasek Review:
It has been three weeks since the accident took place. It was reported in the papers that you were the one who made the decision to turn off the life support for Mr Tong and donate his organs. It must be a heart-wrenching decision for you to make. Can you share with us what’s going through your mind during that time?
Yenny:
Actually it’s not my decision only. It’s a decision made by the entire family. We discussed this a lot of time before we finally decided to let him go. We wished we could have more time but we were given deadline until 25 Dec only. As for the organ donation, since he is a PR and did not opt out for HOTA, he had to donate his organ. We were against the idea as we wanted him to pass away naturally — meaning the heart stop by itself. But the HOTA staff did not allow us to do so, they kept on pressuring us to take off his life support. We begged repeatedly but they refuse to listen to our pleas. In the end, we got the HOTA co-ordinator in charge into trouble too as he took pity on us. We think that since the way my husband passed away is too inhuman, we wanted to let him go in peace and in one piece.. but .. law is law … there is nothing much I can do to against the law..
HAVE YOU OPT OUT OF HOTA YET???

To turn off life-support system to a family menber is sad enough, but to do it on Christmas Day, or any public holidays, is unbelieveable. Bless his soul.

Didn't the family read about the case of a Taiwanese reporter that was written off for dead in UK, but is now almost cured when her family insisted to bring her to China to be cured, against the pressure from the hospital probably wanted to HOTA her?
