PETALING JAYA: It has been one year since David Cheng died of Covid-19 but the pain of his loss still lingers around the Emmanuel Baptist church in Kuching where he used to lead worship.

Cheng, who was an associate pastor in charge of the English language service, was well loved by everyone, including other pastors in the city there.
