May she RIP. 'Heaven had blessed me abundantly': S'porean woman leaves over $1m to Africa's poor kids SINGAPORE - Ms Doris Chua Kheng Geck was a planner and her obituary, which she had paid for herself, was prepared months before her death on March 20. She even wrote it as a farewell message to her loved ones, telling them as they were reading it that she was already on her way to enjoying paradise. She also apologised for her sudden departure and thanked family and friends for their love and kindness, writing: "Heaven had indeed blessed me abundantly with many good things in life and I felt extremely fulfilled." https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/tutor-left-over-1m-to-africas-poor-kids
