“An eternal bond” – Family Holds ‘Ghost Marriage’ to Unite 20yo Man & 18yo Girlfriend Killed in Johor Crash

A fatal accident at Kilometre 32.5 of the Muar-Segamat road near Bandar Baru Sagil, Johor, on October 24 claimed four lives.

Among the victims were 20-year-old Sky Chang Ji Shiang and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Pang Choug Chong.

“My one and only child is now gone”

According to BERNAMA, Tangkak District Police Chief Supt Roslan Mohd Talib said the 10:20 PM accident involved three motorcycles and a Perodua Myvi.

“Three victims died at the scene, including two 20-year-old men and a teenage girl, while another 19-year-old teenager passed away at Tangkak Hospital,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chang’s grieving mother revealed that before the accident, her son wanted to go out with his friends after buying a new motorcycle, according to Berita Harian.

His mother, who only wished to be known as Chan, said she felt completely lost after her only child left her forever.

“I no longer have a child, my one and only has gone. How am I supposed to face this trial in the days to come? I no longer have anyone to accompany me in life,” she said.

A ghost marriage ceremony was held to unite the deceased couple

A local media report said that the tragic road crash led to a rare “ghost marriage,” or Minghun, with a joint wake held at the Chang family home in Tangkak, Johor, where the two coffins were laid side by side.

For those unfamiliar, a ghost marriage is a traditional Chinese ritual meant to unite two lovers who died before marriage, so they can stay together in the afterlife.

According to a Facebook post by SGT Chen Xin Obituary, the coffins were later taken to a crematorium on 27 October (Monday).
