PENANG: With tears in their eyes, eight athletes of SMJK Heng Ee proudly dedicated two victories they had achieved barely two hours earlier to their coach and teacher, Pong Teng Toon, at his funeral yesterday. 

They were among some 100 students and teachers who came in two buses to pay their last respects to Pong at his house in Lebuhraya Nibong, Bayan Baru.
