Wife killed in KL landslide
He's still digging for wedding rings
December 12, 2008

AMID the rubble, a man can be seen digging resolutely at the site of his wrecked home in Bukit Antarabangsa.

He has been there for two consecutive days since Monday, digging through dirt and debris.

It is a labour love - he is searching for the wedding bands he and his late wife, Mrs Ng Yee Ping, wore.


Mr Jason Ng told New Straits Times (NST) that the wedding bands meant the world to him, especially now that his wife was no longer with him.

Mrs Ng, an accountant and his childhood sweetheart, died in Saturday's landslide. Her body was recovered hours after the incident.

She is among four who died in a massive landslide which saw 14 houses destroyed.

Mrs Ng and Mr Ng go way back - both have known each other since kindergarten and schooled together at Chong Hwa primary and secondary schools in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.

The couple tied the knot in 2005 at the age of 20. Two months ago, Mrs Ng gave birth to a boy.

Mr Ng, who runs a printing firm in the city, is determined to find the rings.

He told NST: 'Every night, we would take off our wedding bands and leave them at our bedside with our handphones.

'Yesterday, one of her colleagues told me that her phone was ringing despite it being buried under tonnes of earth.'

This has spurred him to follow the ringing.

He added: 'I heard the ringing tone yesterday but could not pinpoint the location of the phone. I came back today but it wasn't ringing any more.'

He is not about to give up. Mr Ng is convinced that the wedding bands are near the handphones as they were left in the same place.

He and his family are said to have obtained special permission to carry out the search.

At 6.30pm on Tuesday, he cut a lone figure, walking away from the scene - without the rings.

so sad for his loss and his deep love for his wife.

but you know before you buy a house, you can hire some people to survey the location. using satellite photo and trees and stones around the area. you can tell whether it is a dangerous place or not. there are expert in this world to spot his kind of thing.

if there are heavy rain + sign of tree collapsing before the landslide, why does not they move out to a safer place, like cheap hotel somewhere

sometimes common sense helps, if you see the lands have been eroded and there are no trees or grass to be found, better stay away from such houses...

but there's no way to guess when the next earthquake is gonna happen...

Cut your stupid technical babblings.

have to have SOP.
if you live in a place like that, you need to survey your house for danger.
next you have to write SOP that in event of heavy rain, whole family have to move out with the car to safe area.

even stone age people have holy ground to go to in emergency.

this is not technical babblings, have to teach the young one in this forum about LIFE. about stuff. they need to know. to survive in this world.

his wife did not die in GOD WILL as in state in Law.
his wife die because of their ignorance. great to say how he love his wife. but if they done enough research about their surrounding. take a look around their place, you can see the sign, this is not rocket science, that place probably have landslide every hundred years, but the sign is on the ground.
nature leave it's mark on earth. you use brain to intepret it.
