Malaysia King of Gamble was laid to rest at the Gohtong Memorial Park yesterday (29th October 2007).
A 10,000-strong crowd accompanied Goh Tong’s family members on his final journey from Gohtong Villa, which was a hive of activity from as early as 7am.
The main prayer table was filled with an array of food – two trays of crabs, a tray of cockles and dumplings, 20 plates of fish and chicken, five trays of oranges, four trays of apples, six trays of siu bao (roasted buns), four trays of peach-shaped kuih, one tray of angku kuih and 15 roasted pigs.
About 5,000 representatives from various invited non-profit organisations, schools and employees of the Genting Group joined the procession.
The hearse arrived at the Gohtong Memorial Park at 11.25am, where the family members briefly prayed, and proceeded to Genting Hotel after a short stop at Chin Swee Caves Temple.
The rain and misty atmosphere did not prevent scores of Genting staff, who wore black armbands, and visitors from coming out to pay their respects to Goh Tong in front of the hotel.
The procession returned to the memorial park where the family gathered for a private burial at 1.18pm.
