BUTTERWORTH: Form Five student Lim Yong Wei, who was killed in a house fire along with his parents and brother in Subang Jaya, had just bought a new guitar but sadly, he will never get the chance to enjoy it.

The 17-year-old had shared his excitement on getting the guitar by posting a video clip about it on his Facebook page on Sunday, a day before the fire took his life along with his elder brother Yong Liang, 20, father Lim Ah Kok, 58, and mother Goh Bee Khim, 51.
