PHNOM PENH: Family members of Chee Wei Cheng, Poh Boon San and Jeremy Goh held religious rites for the three men at the accident site along Phnom Penh’s Tonle Sap River on Monday afternoon.

In an emotional half-hour ceremony, a Taoist priest from Singapore conducted the rites at the edge of the pontoon near where the ill-fated dragon boat capsized.

Earlier in the morning, officials and members of the Singapore dragon boat team also visited the site to offer prayers.

The families of the other two men, Reuben Kee and Stephen Loh, who also perished in the river, also made a stop at the area before they headed for home. - CNA/ac
