2 days ago… I got a call from my father – my cousin had passed away in Tibet Lassa. He had participated in a survey tour to Tibet organized by the Malaysia Tourism Association. He was feeling unwell few days before the departure – cough and some flu like symptom. However after some Chinese herb medication, he was better. He suffered from diarrhea when they reached Lassa. He was left alone in the hotel as he was feeling unwell. Later the tour returned to the hotel in the evening and they found him in a very ill state. He was admitted to local hospital and passed away that night.
I felt sorry about the incident. He most probably had acute mountain sickness and was not properly treated, he had had fever and might be treated as pneumonia (if he is suspected for pneumonia, I don’t think any doctor would gave him any viagra, decadron …..)
My uncle(his father) was closed to my parents. They are wealthy as my grandfather left a load of fortune for his sons( not daughter or else I might not ended here…). My cousin was sent to Canada for pre-U and he quit his study later as he suffered from stress. He came back to Malaysia and rested for a few years. He later worked in my uncle’s company( 1st china tour organizer in Malaysia). He had led a quite life and never got marry. We played together during my young days but never get close. After my study here in Taiwan, our relation was merely head nodding….
I think my uncle and aunty suffered the most…...That’s life…..
always in our memory.....
