KUCHING, Oct 7: The late Datuk Song Swee Guan took his final journey past the Kuching South City Council (MBKS) headquarters today, the institution he helped shape as its first mayor, as the council pledged to carry on his legacy of serving the city and its people.
His cortege passed MBKS during a funeral procession and ceremony attended by Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng, councillors, management and staff, who gathered to honour the man who played a foundational role in Kuching’s transformation into a city.
In his tribute, Wee described Song as not only Kuching South’s first mayor but also a senior, friend and mentor to him personally.
“Today, I do not want to remember him only by the positions he held. I want to remember the man I knew,” he said in his text speech.
