Stories - Man continues search for son in Penang

Looking out at the vast blue sea from the rescue boat, foreman Ooi Kean Guan repeatedly burst into tears.



It dawned on him that he might not be able to find the bodies of his son and nephews, who were still missing after they fell victim to the might of tsunami last Sunday.



�I want to find my son. I must find the children but I don�t know how,� sobbed Kean Guan.



Kean Guan, 35, was on a Fire and Rescue Department boat to search for his son, Zi Ye, seven, and nephews, Choon Beng, 10, and Choon Wei, six, yesterday.



Kean Guan's wife Lina Lee, 35, mother Ang Poh Choo, 69, and niece Swee Kee, 12, were also killed by the giant waves while picnicking at the Pasir Panjang beach in Balik Pulau.
