Only ‘thank you’ to rescuers as words fail for grieving dad


ALOR GAJAH: Tai Seng Fui, 63, could only utter ‘thank you’ incessantly when four members of his family were found by the search and rescue team (SAR) even though they were long deceased.

As father to one of the victims, Tan Chang Lin, 35, Tai said he is still coming to terms with accepting the reality of losing his son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, all in the blink of an eye after they were swept away in a tragic landslide at the Father’s Organic Farm campsite that occurred last Friday.
