No lah. I cannot possibly be envious of somebody whose family members placed an Hermes handbag in her coffin. (I know in some countries, stand-up comedians would have a field day with this.)

Yes, the young who have their lives cut short will always be newsworthy and create lots of 'sensasi' (Huang Na, Lo Hwei Yen, the two missing boys from the 1980s), but it gets a bit ridiculous when ordinary Singaporeans start queuing up to pay respects to someone they don't know and who hadn't contributed much to society when she was alive. Ho See Beng, former MP and unionist died a few days ago. Where are the queues?

As for my grandmothers. They died ages ago, not last year. Don't have to feel sorry for them. I'm not sorry. Given what I heard, they were bitches who made the lives of those around them miserable.
