S'pore young businesswoman dies in China
SINGAPORE entrepreneur Diana Young, the founder and chief executive of aviation company Mil-Com Aerospace, died on Tuesday in a hospital in Xian, China, following a traffic accident on Monday morning.
The 45-year-old suffered serious multiple injuries when the car she was in was hit by another vehicle during the morning peak hour in Xian, the capital of the Shanxi province in central China. She was rushed to a government hospital after the accident.
Ms Young's rags-to-riches life story was an inspiration to many budding entrepreneurs in Singapore.
According to a traffic police spokesman in the city famed for its terracotta soldiers, the rear of her car was badly smashed in. She was in the back seat at the time.
She was on a business trip in China. She had flown there a few days ago from the United States, where she had also gone on business.
Her husband Eugene Lim, Mil-Com's senior vice-president, and its managing director, Mr Michael Leung, caught the first available flight to Beijing early on Tuesday morning and reached Xian in the afternoon.
Mr Lim, 49, immediately rushed to the hospital to identify his wife's body.
Well known for her rags-to riches life story, the petite 1.52m-tall businesswoman was a role model and inspiration to budding entrepreneurs in Singapore.
Born the sixth child in a family of six girls and a boy to a shipping superintendent and housewife, she gave tuition as a 14-year-old to neighbourhood children to earn pocket money.
She started out as a minute secretary at the Singapore Island Country Club after her A-levels. The former Raffles Girls' Secondary School student studied long-distance for a Bachelor's degree in business administration and later gained a part-time Masters degree in finance.
In 1994, she founded Mil-com, which manufactures high-precision aircraft components and provides training services to engineers.
The company was recently reported to be headed for a public listing by next year.
At the time of her death, Mil-com had 700 employees in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia and China. In 2003, it had a turnover of S$30 million, about half of which were from its overseas ventures.
Besides her husband, Ms Young also leaves behind two teenage children.

She was Christian, She was rich, but she was also one of the VERY VERY few who believed in helping others live their dreams.
She helped someone I knew by giving him a lump sum of money to startup a business, unbeliveably, even after I probed him for and catches, hidden clauses, I soon realized the money given had no strings attached.
In the VC world, these people, rare and few, are also known as ANGELS.
Bless you Diana, only the good die young, may your family find peace in time and honor you for all the hope that you have given to and those that have had the previledge of experiencing your touch of kindness

ladies n gents, as someone working in PRC, lemme tell u abt the traffic situation.
Briefly, no one gives a f**** to zebra crossings, everyone presses their f***ing horns and expect you to get out of the way. The bigger/flashier/more expensive their vehicle, the longer, louder and more repeatedly they press their fucking horns.
I really want to smash their f****ing skulls and crush their c***B** fingers sometimes!!!! and drink-driving/ mobilephone-driving, and smoke-driving can all be DONE at once, can u believe it ?!!??!?! a 3hit combo !!
THESE BRAINLESS COMMIE MUTHAF***KERS can make Uturns anywhere, run red lights, park over any kerb without coupons/meters and get away with it !!! THOSE WHO COMPLAIN ABT SG TAXI DRIVERS don't noe nuts abt their PRC counterparts.... they are all Fujiwara Takumis!!!!
i've had this SON OF A BICTH TAKE ME FROM PUDONG AIRPORT (shanghai) to the city centre at 1am half asleep !!! and on the highway exit he was doing 150kmh, he scraped his right rear section(above the wheel) against the F**KING BARRIER !!!!! CHAO*****BYE !!!! i was so stunned i hardly had any time to fuck him !!!
chao c***b**!!! F*** PRC DRIVERS.... I hope Diana Young wakes up and sues that f***ker's socks off, but that driver might not afford anything but his miserable ratlife.
GT-R
tips to zeng a PRC's car.
1. change the default horn to airhorn u can hear miles away
2. change the highbeam to industrial strength searchlights for nightuse against any car who turn on THEIR highbeams.
3. remove all seatbelts to prevent dust collection.

Life is Uncertain.
Death is Certain.
Lord Buddha
Life itself is the best embodiment of the basic principle of Impermanence.
Everything in life is changing; nothing stays the same from one instance to the next.
Your mind, your family, your belongings, your business, your current pleasures, the rest of the world.
One moment your mind craves for this, the next it craves for that.
One moment you feel ecstatic, the next you feel exhausted.
Every time you perceive or learn something, you change your perceptions and so do your knowledge.
Now you may be affluent, next week the stock market crashes and you are in debt.
The bottomline is the more you perceive the permanence of things, the more dearly you hold on to them.
The more you suffer should you lose them, and the more you worry about losing them.
To overcome this cascading ills, eliminate all desires and attachment, the root of all evils.
Without them goes your fear, your worries and your dissatisfactions.
After all, for all we know, you can't transfer you material gains to your next life.
They are merely passing clouds !!
To distract you from the true purpose of life !!
How come wealthy people are not much happier than the poor ?
The truly wealthy - zillionaires of the world - are those content whether they have one cent or one million dollars.
Or nothing at all, like the monks who have no earthly possessions.
If you are afraid of Death, that means you are clinging dearly to life.
Or the attachments of life - your family, friends, financial assets.
Death is an inevitable consequence of life, not even Lord Buddha Himself can avoid.
If you believe in the Buddhist theory of reincarnation. then we have died and reborn a few million times, if not more !!!
The joke or pity - depending on how you look at it - is that we are repeating the same mistakes as our very first life and we are nowhere nearer to our endpoint.
Thanks to Ignorance and Desire - elimination of which leads to enlightenment.
So behold yourself now and deliberate the greatest deliberations of all your lives.
Deliberate whether you want this one to make a difference, one that is worthy of living, one that sets you off in the course of liberation.
Or choose to return to a world of luxury and pleasures, sickness and old age, pain and agony and "Game Over".
Then "Start A New Game".
Hopefully, you can get the opportunity to make such a deliberation in your next 1000th life but in the meantime hang on to the usual roller coaster of life.
MAY DIANA HAVE A GOOD REBIRTH
MAY HER FAMILY BE WELL AND HAPPY -
She is from Paya Lebra Methodist Church. In her life, she had brought people forward and accepted Christ. In her life, she had done God's work and now that the Lord had called her home, she is resting in eternal peace. May God bless her family with peace. Rejoice for its her birthday into God's everylasting kingdom.
