Young family: Chung and Jess with their son Ah Bee in happier times.

GEORGE TOWN: The last time they met, Dr Tan Swee Hock could see the joy and happiness in Chung Wah Thong’s eyes as he celebrated his daughter’s first birthday at a hotel in Jalan Gottlieb here about two weeks ago.

Chung, also known as “Cacing” in the horse-racing circle, even came over to the former trainer’s house to fetch him to the restaurant.
