Tribute to Uncle Lim

HE was just there lying in his coffin with all his Tan Sri regalia on the body and also on the songkok beside him.
now in front of me lies once was Malaysia's richest man according to Forbes Asia.
His complexion was just so peaceful. Despite the heavy downpour, close friends, former and current political heavyweights in the country came to pay their last respect to the late Tan Sri.
Personally I'm not related to Uncle Lim in any way but he is still the one in my list of people who I have high respect to. What makes him so great? well for one he started Genting by his own and despite being poor, perseverance have really show that anything is possible.
Well, perhaps maybe next time they will not be any Uncle Lim, but that time it will be Uncle Choong =D
*this post will be loaded with pictures I just can't help it but take and take and take all the happenings there, these happened on the first day, media really have the privilege keke.
