yo dude,
I was baffled by his Loss 'coz a friend of mine told me of this photo:

What is wrong with the pic?

Dude, this is so wrong! But the caption says "Staying strong", but man, it is still wrong.

There are few ways to read:

Firstly, In times of pain and sorrow, we can put up a face to look strong but it does not mean he is not sorrowful.

Secondly, he loves his wives and less-by-one means less one problem of disputes.

Thirdly, the picture was taken when he was playing with a kid ... young boys, toyboys and SILs. He was illustrating how young chickoos can have two great women in their life... a femus daughter-in-politics and another femus gf in wayang.

oh, I saw a 2nd photo.
He fold his arms behind resting like he's on some Caribbean beach vacationing!

if it weren't for the kids' expression, anyone would have mistaken it for something else.

er... i don't see anything wrong with the photo at all. the caption already said it that he was gesturing how his wife stay strong until the end.

francis yeoh is a christian. i am a christian. we christians believe that death is a new beginning for the deceased. especially for those who had been suffering (like his wife), death is a realease for them and we rejoice in it, if you know what i mean. not that we are not sad that our loved one died. we are, of course but at the same time we are happy that god had taken away her/his suffering.

surely you don't expect to see the pictures of the deceased loved ones all 24hrs crying, gloomy, sad. sometimes the loved ones have to put on a brave face to show they are strong in their moments of sadness... by smiling... nothing wrong with that.
