BANGKOK: A deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test confirmed the man who died at Mae Sot Hospital near the Thailand-Myanmar border last May was Malaysian Goi Zhen Feng, who was believed to be a victim of a job fraud syndicate.
The result of the DNA test showed that Goi Chee Kong is (99.99%) the biological father of the victim.
Teruntum assemblyman Sim Chon Siang, who assisted Chee Kong in Bangkok, said with the results of the DNA test, the family would apply to change the deceased’s name back to his original name – Zhen Feng.
“After that, the cremation ceremony will be held. We expect the ashes of the deceased to be brought back by the deceased’s parents to the family residence in Ipoh this Friday (Sept 16) or Saturday (Sept 17),” he told Bernama.
Before this, Chee Kong was informed that his eldest son had died and was buried in a cemetery in Si Racha in Chonburi province with the name “Mun Jun Hong”.
Accordingly, the family has made an application for the process of re-digging the grave to enable DNA testing to be carried out.
Bernama on Sept 4 reported Chee Kong, 50, and his 45-year-old wife went to Bangkok to search for their missing eldest son.
However, when they arrived in Bangkok on Aug 30 and were scheduled to go to Mae Sot the next day to meet their son who was said to be ill and receiving treatment at Mae Sot Hospital, they were informed that Zhen Feng had already died on May…
