At her funeral wake, Lee's mother Lin Xiaoling told Malaysian media outlet Sin Chew Daily that her daughter had called her and said, "Mummy, I'm in pain" before falling silent."I immediately rushed to the scene. There was a traffic jam because of the accident, so I left my car at the roadside and ran there, but I was too late to see Zi Rou for the final time," she cried.
"Now that Zi Rou has left us, it's hard to imagine what life will be like without her. How will it be like at home?" The 51-year-old lorry driver, who was not named, was taken to the magistrate's court on Thursday afternoon, where he flashed a peace sign to the media. He will be remanded for four days for investigations, reported The Star.
