Update:
Beware of this killer.He drives a White Toyota Estima with the number plate WQR9883 and if you google his number you will find that he is a road bully that had many netizens reaching out in cyberspace to send out alerts to others to nab him.
If you have not heard of Ong Kim Koon,he is not a Penangite,he lives in Selangor.
He is a doting grandfather,loving husband,beloved father and is missed by the many whose lives he touched.
I am featuring him here because he is a good samaritan that was in the midst of rescuing a Malay couple from their car wreckage when the impatient bafoon Khoo Kim Chuan decided to barge his way out of the traffic crawl,ploughed into Ong and cut short his life.
Khoo dragged Ong,for a few metres until Ong's friend stopped him.
The friend freed Ong but Khoo sped off without offering help.
Later,Ong's left leg was amputated to prevent infection.
Ong's family never got to say their goodbyes to him as he was in a coma for nearly 2 weeks before passing away on the 23rd of April 2011.
His good deeds are significant because whatever the politicians say or however hard they try to divide us,this is a clear example of us throwing the mud back in their money faces and proving to them that the man on the street still helps his neighbour of another race.
I may not be their family member but after watching a tv programme Bersamamu dedicated to him,I think many of us would accord him respect like he were our family member from today onwards.
Khoo Kim Chuan on the other hand,just had to pay RM5,500 and did not even apologise to his wife or family for causing his death.
If you want to donate to his family please channel the money to a BSN Giro account set up by BSN and TV3 in the name of his son,Ong Kah Hui.

He Didn't Even Say Sorry- The Malay Mail
KUALA LUMPUR: “He didn’t apologise. He didn’t even look at us. It’s as if we were transparent.”
Those were the words of lorry driver Ong Kim Koon’s 51-year-old widow, Lau Chooi Lin, uttered in anger against the Toyota Estima driver whose recklessness led to Ong’s death, 11 days a fter being knocked down on April 11.
Lau, accompanied by her 27-year-old son, Vincent Ong Kah Hui, had attended the Ampang magistrate’s court yesterday when the MPV driver, Khoo Kim Chuan (pic), 47, was charged with careless and inconsiderate driving under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
The grieving family had hoped their presence at court would finally lead them to a meeting with Khoo, but that was not to be. They were left shattered that Khoo did not even acknowledge their presence, much less apologise to them.
If a heavy punishment was what they sought, they were also left gutted with the verdict.
Under the Section, the fine ranges from a minimum of RM4,000 to a maximum of RM10,000 and imprisonment of up to a maximum of 12 months, or both, upon conviction.
Magistrate Aida Mastura Mohamed Aman fined Khoo RM5,500 and ordered the endorsement of his driving licence a fter he pleaded guilty to the charge. An ‘endorsement’ is a record which provides details of a person’s motoring convictions.
Deputy public prosecutor Fauziah Hanim Abuhan had earlier called for an “equivalent punishment for the public’s interest”.
Meanwhile, Vincent, was unable to hide his disappointment with the turn of events.
“We are very disappointed with the verdict. My father is a hit-and-run casualty and the accused was only given a light sentence. It’s just not fair.”
He said the family were now considering legal options.
“We will now discuss our next course of action with our lawyer. We will see how to proceed.”

PETALING JAYA: Good Samaritan Ong Kim Koon who was killed while trying to rescue a trapped couple in a crashed car had always gone out of his way to help others in distress.
He had once saved the life of a teenager involved in a motorcycle crash about two decades ago, said his youngest daughter Kah Wei, 20.
She said that the teenager survived because her father had sent the victim to the hospital on time.
“I am shattered because my father is no longer with us but we are proud of his noble deeds,” said Kah Wei, after Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil visited the family in Pandan Mewah yesterday.
In the April 11 incident on Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) highway, 52-year-old Kim Koon was hit by a Toyota Estima MPV as he was trying to pull vegetable seller Zainal Md Yusoff, 45, from his mangled Perodua Viva that had crashed into another vehicle at about 1pm.
Kim Koon had successfully pulled Zainal's wife Rosamiah Hashim, 38, from the wreckage earlier.
The couple survived but Kim Koon's severely injured right leg was amputated.
He died on Friday due to an infection. He was in an induced coma for 11 days and did not regain consciousness since the incident.
During her brief visit yesterday, Shahrizat presented RM1,300 to the family on behalf of the National Welfare Foundation (YKN) and the Ampang Community Welfare Department.
Also present with the minister were YKN chief executive officer Datuk Sayed Abdul Rahman Sayed Mohd and about 30 Wanita Umno representatives.
“Kim Koon gambled with his life to help a fellow countryman.
“He has shown an exemplary display of civic-consciousness and we commend him for his spirit,” Shahrizat said, while extending condolences to the family.
