The passing of Cheryl Tan Qiwei

Cheryl Tan pass away on the 11/01/2010. I know her personally and she was a really sweet girl. She was kind beyond measure and sing very well. She was also a very talented person. Cheryl jumped from 21 stories from her home.

Until now, the reason for her to make that decision will never be known to every body.

For those who missed her funeral, feel free to email me for her final resting place.

The two link below is the only mention of cheryl. However, they are politicalised so read with a thinking hat. Cheryl was a bright lady, she will not do it over studies as she was doing well.

Google 陈琪葳 and you will find a lot of her articles.

NTU Obituary

Students in Nanyang Technological University had pass away. Two of them jumped to their deaths last month but we heard nothing of it in the state media. The only reference of them was made was from the Chinese evening tabloids. Even after all these misfortunes, the administration did nothing to let anyone knows about their passing. That was fine. After all, you cannot expect an email sent every time someone pass away. Looking at Nanyang chronicle, there are no mention of anything about them. There are no mention of any topics on how to seek help to prevent such tragedy from happening again.

This is totally absurb. Its like there is something to hide. Whats with hiding the death of our beloved undergrads. They are the future of the Nation. We should remember every one of them and help the living, not hide every misfortunes and pray that it do not happen again.

If you do not love the undergrad, do not expect them to donate to your project love, as every thing the University do is a facade.

This blog serve as a place to remember our friends. This place serve as a point for NTU students to know who, how and why our fellow undergrads pass away. This place serve as a outlet for their family and friends to pass on the news of their passing. This place serve as a place where the University can never be.
