THE remains of former transport minister and MCA honorary life president, Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, were cremated at the Xiao En Memorial Park crematorium in Nilai today.
According to Bernama, the van carrying his remains arrived at the crematorium at 12.18 pm.
The nearly hour-long ceremony was held in a sombre atmosphere, attended by family members and close associates, including MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
Attendees paid their last respects by laying floral tributes.
Dr Ling died at 82 last Saturday. He is survived by his wife, Toh Puan Ong Ee Nah, and their two sons, Ling Hee Leong and Ling Hee Keat.
The former MCA president was among the longest-serving Cabinet members, having helmed the Transport Ministry for 17 years from 1986 until his resignation in 2003. – April 8, 2026
