Unexpected Access

I am not a big fan of actress Wong Li Lin. However, after the above show aired last night on Channel 5 at 10pm, I really admire (not as in crazy admiration) for her courage to do this. It is not easy having to face dead people and not forgetting the smell too. Tolerating the smell is the worst thing besides having to look at the person who is going to clear the intestines and other organs of the dead and prepare the dead body ready for the wake.

At the end of the show, you would also admire those people who does this everyday as a career. If weren't for them, the dead people have no one to rely on after death to clear up the mess they left behind and having to look good too before they are sent for burial. For this show, I SALUTE to these people who help the dead. It is a creepy and smelly task but yet they chose to do it. Not forgetting the co-ordinator in this show too who does all the co-ordinating with gasket and all after stuff to ensure the wake is set up properly regardless of what the dead's religion is and give the Next of Kin's best advice he could.
