Hii King Chiong : Father Always Advised Me To Help Others

05.03.2015-- “My late father always advised me : After you earned money, you must help those in need to overcome their difficulties.” Dato Hii King Chiong, son of the late Datuk Hii Yu Peng, shared this in his testimony on behalf of family members during the funeral service at Masland Fu Yuan Methodist Church at Island Road.

Hii said that his father helped many people in private over the decades from which he learned the great morals of being a man. “Sometimes my father told me not to let my mother know so as not to make her worried. However, in fact, my mother also advised me from time to time to always give assistance to the people in need.”

Hii revealed that at 2:40am on 3 March 2015, family members including himself and his wife, mother, sisters, brothers-in-law and aunties gathered around his father as he laid in bed.

“I put my left hand on his chest and said, Papa, relax, God is waiting for you. He left us at 3:33am.”

Recalling those moments during his testimony, Hii choked several times and tried hard to restrain his grief. His sadness was deeply felt by those present.

On behalf of his family, Hii thanked brothers and sisters in Christ, relatives and friends for singing Christian songs and praying for his father which really cheered his father up.

"We sincerely thank everyone for your love and support to my parents over the years. Many thanks to my aunt, sister-in-law and sisters for accompanying my mother to see my father every day. Many thanks to friends for their blessings through prayers and Christian songs.”

During the post-funeral reception, Hii’s family also said donations will be given to various associations and groups soon.
