The funeral was attended by a large number of relatives and friends, many of them from the F.M.S. and Singapore. After the usual formalities in the house the procession started at about 10.30 and followed a route through China Street, Beach Street, Malay Street, Carnavon Street, and finally halted at Pranging Road where every kind of conveyance from motor cars to humble ricsha were requisitioned by the followers, who proceeded to the burial ground. Special arrangements had been made for the convenience of those attending the funeral. The procession was a fairly long one and one of its novelties was the carriage upon which the head priest sat. It was tastefully decorated and was the best seen in the last few years. There were in addition several groups of Chinese musicians behind whom were carriers of banners and scrolls from the various local clubs and communities, after which came two motor cars decked with wreaths and flowers one of them containing a large photograph of the deceased. Last came the mourners and the coffin which was enveloped in a pall of pink and green silk with gold and silver trimmings especially ordered for the occasion.
