The victim, Joice Chin Khoon Sing’s older brother, Khoon Ying, said this to reporters after the funeral in her hometown, George Town, Penang yesterday.

“We will have a meeting tonight (yesterday) to decide whether to proceed with legal action. We want to take a collective stand before deciding what to do,” he was quoted as saying by the news portal.

In the incident last Thursday, Khoon Sing, 24, was killed instantly when a crane hook fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. Her car was stuck in a traffic jam on Jalan Raja Chulan at the time of the incident, which occurred at about 7.15pm.

The administration executive, who worked in Puchong, was on her way to join her family and was able to send out a message via WhatsApp, minutes before the incident, to say that she would be late for the appointment.

At the funeral, the tears flowed freely over the great loss for the family and close relatives.

It was a sombre moment for all who came to pay their last respects at the family home yesterday morning and later at the Batu Gantang crematorium, where her mother Yeoh Ang Hooi, 58, Khoon Ying, and a cousin who was close to the victim, were seen weeping uncontrollably.

Various government agencies are involved in investigating the accident.

It was reported that the police and Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) are probing, especially the identity of the crane driver, who fled after the accident and is still missing.

The crane operator, by law, must be Malaysian and the crane is not supposed to operate anywhere outside the building hoarding, especially in the space directly above a busy road.
