SINGAPORE — An elderly man’s obituary that was published in Singapore’s national newspaper over the weekend started circulating because of an unusual mention.
Written in first person, the obituary of Ong Peck Lye, who passed away at 82, lists his family members in order of seniority. Towards the end is a mention of “my baby son” and Ong’s “son-in-law” — his son’s partner.
Published during a flurry of anti-LGBTI news in the country, the obituary carries a poem, in which Ong asks his sons to forgive him.
