PETALING JAYA: A falling construction crane hook crushed the dreams of Joice Chin Khoon Sing of walking down the aisle with the “perfect man”, her tearful brother told reporters.

Joice Chin, 24, was killed on the spot when the crane hook fell on her car in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

Her brother, Khoon Ying, 26, a local actor, was unable to hold back his tears during her wake at their home at Nordin Street Ghaut flats in Magazine Road, Penang today, according to The Star.

Showing reporters a picture of his sister, he said: “She loved to joke about getting married to a Korean star.

She set a high standard for her prospective husband: someone who did not smoke, did not go to parties or gamble, Khoon Ying was quoted as saying.

He had often joked with her that if she expected such a man, she would never find a husband.

“She replied that if she can’t find such a husband, then she wanted to buy a house and live with me,” he was quoted as saying.

Joice’s funeral is expected to be held on Monday.
