Benedict Goh Hin Tee - My dear nephew


My eldest sister, Lee Huey, has lost her younger son, Benedict Goh.

He was driving along Dunearn Road on the night of 26th June 2012.
At 11.15pm, his car crashed onto this large tree at high speed.

According to passers-by who assisted him out of the car, he died on the spot.
He looked peaceful (body intact, no blood stains) when he was taken to the mortuary.

As a child, Benedict was quiet and obedient. He travelled often with my aged parents during the holidays. This picture was taken at Ko Samui, Thailand 12 years ago.

He was well-loved and brought much joy to the family. During his free time, he had even assisted me in my work and was a junior member of the BIG Rallye Cycle Team.

Benedict studied at S’pore Polytechnic (SP) and was due for National Service enrolment next month.

I am not sure if he enjoyed his studies but I am certain about his love for rugby as seen in the below picture taken immediately after representing the SP team.

The local ruby community will miss him......

Lee Huey and her family will have to continue life without Benedict.
But most importantly, may God take this promising young man to a better place.
