Owing their lives to a man who is no more

Gillian’s heroic act leaves an overwhelming impact on the grateful family.

KOTA KINABALU: For a family of seven in Labuan, it is one thing to escape from the flames of death but quite another to discover that their saviour did not survive.

This is the heartbreaking situation Rogy @ Rothstewart James Pang found himself in after he along with his wife, mother-in-law and four young children escaped with just the clothes on their back, only to learn that their neighbour had died of smoke inhalation after his heroic and no less dramatic act.
