BUTTERWORTH: Twenty-nine years ago today, an 11-year-old boy was so excited when his mother told him they would take the ferry to Penang Island to see a procession in George Town.

But tragedy happened and till this day he can remember clearly being crushed under a pile of dead bodies and being soaked in their blood.
