The founder of a major media group transformed Chinese-language journalism in Malaysia by overseeing influential publications including Sin Chew Daily, Guang Ming Daily, Nanyang Siang Pau and China Press. Queen Elizabeth II conferred upon Tiong the Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to business and charitable work in Papua New Guinea. His funeral cortege passed by Menara Rimbunan Hijau at Upper Lanang Road and RH Hotel at Kampung Nyabor Road before reaching his final resting place. He is survived by his wife, one son, four daughters, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. [/QUOTE]
