 PENANG: Penang lawyer, Mr. Ang Kar Boon passed away earlier
today at the age of 39.
Kar Boon was admitted to the Malaysian Bar on November 5, 1996 and at the time
of his demise, he was practising here at his own firm, Ang, Oon & Associates
together with his two partners, Ms. Oon Phei Ti and Ms. Wong Huong Hee.
A fellow member of the Bar, Ms. Oon Hooi Lin said Kar Boon was the best friend
of her husband, Goik Kenzu and they were very close. She described Kar Boon as
being gentle, generous, polite, kind-hearted, easy going and well liked by
everyone who knew him. Despite his quiet demeanour, he was always the perfect
gentleman with a charming personality and was respected and liked by members of
the Bar.
Hooi Lin added that Kar Boon was deeply passionate about his various interests,
one of which was music. His favourite artist was Sarah Vaughan and he had
collected almost all of her albums over the years. He also loved to dance and
had taken up ballroom dancing a few years ago.
Kar Boon was diagnosed with having colon and liver cancer a few years ago but he
kept going strong and was always in high spirits. However, his health took a
turn for the worse about a month ago.
When Hooi Lin spoke to him just a week ago, he was having a bout of energy and
informed her that he was listening to The Carpenters' Christmas album and he
described it as the best Christmas album ever!
Kar Boon leaves behind his father and siblings. His mother, whom he loved and
cared for greatly, passed away not too long ago.
He will also be greatly missed by a whole host of family and
friends whose lives he had touched.
The funeral will be on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 2.00pm from his home at No.
63 Jalan Tembaga, 11600 Penang. We hope to provide further updates in due
course.
The Malaysian Bar extends our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of
the late Mr. Ang Kar Boon.
