Remains of businesswoman shot dead cremated

GEORGE TOWN: The remains of businesswoman Ruby Lee Poh Ai, who was shot dead while driving in Taman Pekaka 1, Gelugor, on Tuesday were cremated at Batu Gantung Crematorium, here, today.
About 100 people including her husband and two children attended the funeral which began at 2pm.
Her best friend, former member of Parliament for Nibong Tebal, Tan Tee Beng, who had known her for more than 10 years, said they were utterly shocked to hear the news of her death as she was a kind, well-mannered woman.
"We simply cannot accept the fact that she went this way. It is very sad, for she truly didn't deserve to die the way she did," he told reporters during the funeral procession.
"She was a very religious woman and often helped the Thai temple. I have known her husband for more than five years and he is also a very soft-spoken man, so it is hard for me to believe that he could have offended somebody that much to cause this," he said.
Tan said the family was baffled as to why this happened to her and hoped police would be able to find out the truth and seek justice for what happened.
Ruby Lee was shot dead in the 5.45pm incident when she was driving her BMW car alone and was approached by two men riding a motorcycle who then fired more than 10 shots at her.
She was shot from the driver's side with six shots hitting her chest. — Bernama
