Though I've yet to personally met Poh Min, he had helped me on numerous occasions in respect of my cases in JB. All I can say that my experiences in dealing with him are nothing short of extremely pleasant. Poh Min was very responsible and his untimely death is a great loss to the legal profession. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

My deepest condolences to the bereaved young family on their loss.
It is during sad times like this when I find our LawCare to be so very appropriate. It is my hope that LawCare will extend its operation and help ensure that the young children will be properly educated.

May Poh Min rest in peace ... written by Joey Ngu Yi Hui,

Poh Min has been a very friendly, kind, mild-tempered and gentle guy to us. Yes, he was killed in a car crash, but nobody knows exactly what happened or how it happened yet.
We as friends of Poh Min are very disgusted and sadden hearing rumours on the cause of accident and/or unfounded remarks made on him as a driver, and we would appreciate if they could stop it.
There was no alchohol found in his blood so please stop spreading rumours that he was drunk-driving after Johore Bar Annual Dinner & Dance when he did not attend at all.
We are upset enough to have lost him ...
On behalf of all Poh Min's good friends, Joey Ngu Yi Hui

When I heard about this sad news last night, I couldn't believe or rather accept it. I also got the SMS confirmation from my friend but I could only accept the fact when I opened the newspaper (Sin Chew Diary) this morning. What a sudden news and I fully agree with Joey that we are all upset enough to have lost him, so ... pls let Poh Min rest in peace.
