BUTTERWORTH: It was a calm and sombre atmosphere as more than hundreds turned up to pay last respects to Bangkok blast victim, Lim Su See, 52, during her funeral at her home in Taman Dedap today.
It was a heart-wrenching moment when some family members and close relatives wept as Taoism funeral rites were carried out by a priest.
Su See's son, Lu Pinquan, 24, who held a brave front, was seen keeping his composure and remained calm throughout the rites and praying process.
Lu, a computer science student in Singapore Institute of Technology, appeared grief stricken and lost when he bowed thrice as a mark of respect to his mother.
Bands alongside a drum troupe also filled the sadness before the casket bearing Su See's remains was wheeled out and loaded into a hearse about 11.15am.
Pin Quan's father Wai Leong, 58, was also present to pay respect to his ex-wife during the funeral service.
Also present were Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's political-secretary Wong Hon Wai, Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Boon Poh, Batu Kawan MP P.Kasthuri, Sungai Puyu Barisan Nasional (BN) coordinator Sum Yoo Keong and others.
Su See's remains were later cremated at the Berapit crematorium.
Su See's sister Lim Saw Gek, 49, and nephew Neoh Jai Jun, 20, will be buried at the Sungai Lembu cemetery in Bukit Mertajam.
On Friday, victims Lee Tze Siang, 35, and his four year old daughter Jing Xuan were also given a final send-off and were cremated at the Berapit crematorium.
The five perished in Monday's bomb blast near the Erawan shrine in Bangkok which is a popular tourism destination among locals and tourists alike.
Two others who survived were Saw Gek's husband Neoh Hock Guan, 55, and their daughter Ee Ling, 33.

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 20, 2015:
The vandalising of murals in the heritage enclave of George Town, one of of which was by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic, should not have happened if there was an appreciation for arts, a heritage conservation expert says.
George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI) general manager Lim Choo Ping described the act as “very sad and such a waste as the mural was not only a tourist attraction but also something which evokes childhood memories in many”.
“The GTWHI will contact Zacharevic ro see if there is any way we could salvage his painting and get rid of the yellow paint.
“The act of vandalising goes to show the lack of appreciation and lack of respect for works of art,” said Lim when contacted.
Yesterday, cars, shops and murals along Campbell Street and Armenian Street were spray painted with ”#4.0” in yellow.
One of the murals was by Zacharevic, called “Little Children on a Bicycle”, which has drawn droves of tourists to the site to pose with the 3D art piece.
Police have already obtained a closed-circuit television camera (CCTC) of the suspect.
Meanwhile, on Instagram, Zacharevic put up a picture of his vandalised artwork and coolly wrote, “It’s amazing to be a spectator of your own artworks life… This piece has experienced more in last couple of years than most of the people in their entire life. Let the scars and wrinkles tell the story.”
Meanwhile, Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai, who is also political secretary to Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, said that the murals are the pride of Penangites.
“This is an act of vandalism which is really frowned upon.
“I pray that it could be saved and restored to its original state and that the police could trace the perpetrator and punish the person accordingly,” he said when contacted.
There are altogether eight murals by Zacharevic in Penang in the heritage enclave such as “Children in a Boat” and ”Little Girl in Blue”.
Zacharevic ‘s murals have been around in Penang since 2012 in conjunction with Penang Georgetown Festival since 2012.
