Remembering Marcus Ng


Don't know who he is, haven't meet him before, havent's heard of him, in fact, came across this guy on Malaysia Today. Out of curiosity, read a letter about him in Malaysia Today.
Only 23 years old and he has passed on. Only 23 years old and he has left a legacy behind. Only 23 years old and he is fondly remembered by a lot of people. Read about him here href="http://liltots.wordpress.com/2009/02/08/dearest-markus" It seems like he has made a lot of impact and he was proud to be Anak Bangsa Malaysia.
Too bad, didn't get to know him.
