“I was halfway through the usual one-hour journey when my wife called at about 9.15am on Tuesday to inform me about the fire. “My heart froze as I saw Kaliama’s name there,” he said, wiping away tears.

Her body was cremated at the Hindu crematorium in Kebun Teh and her ashes will be scattered at Lido Beach today.
