Kuching Flood News The Mother Calling Kho Yong Qi To Come Home


On 05 Jan 2012 early morning, after sending the sibling to school Kho Yong Qi uses the short cut from Batu Lintang and there’s where the car she was driving broken down and stuck in a massive down pour of rain and flash flood water started to rise. She later call the mother and inform about the incident.

 Photo below was taken by me perhaps 1 or 2 hours later – one of the car (reportedly a Toyota) is belong to Kho which is already under the water.

The mother later inform Kho to walk to the nearest Batu Lintang shell station to wait for her and so she did…

The high level of water makes it hard to defferentiate between road and big drain – at this point the one person that do not know how to swim Herman Sinas, 29 who work at the shell station saw Kho was struggling in the water – jump to her rescue. He had her hair but that was not enough to pull Kho up and eventually he jump right in and both MIA at the scene.


07 Jan 2012 Herman Sinas, 29, was found in a drain that leads to Sungai Maong at about 8.30am Saturday some 2km from where he tried to save Kho Ying Qi. Search for Kho is on going.



According to the person who taken the photo above – The mother and family of Kho when to the bridge calling for Kho to come home. Hearing the mother’s calling out for Kho – I lost words to describe how sad it has been.
