I am glad mother and her elder sister or my taiyi bid final farewell to their eldest brother or my taikaufu at the modern crematorium in Tanjung Rambutan with really admirable calmness in the true progressive tradition. Taikaufu Yip Hee, 88, was born in Batu Gajah and is now laid to rest in Ipoh as a soul of the Kinta Valley.
