His son was a symbol of happiness for his family and his demise had taken away all the joy they used to share.

MANJUNG - The late Lt T. Sivasutan, 31, who was one of the 10 Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) personnel who perished in the helicopter crash at the RMN Navy Base in Lumut yesterday, was described as a good son who never refused his parents’ requests.

Sixty-one-year-old M. Thanjappan said Sivasutan, their only son, would always fulfil their requests without fail.

"I dare say that my late son, Sivasutan was very pious, very kind-hearted and never turned down our requests. My wife and I would say this is suitable for you (and) he will just accept it... if his mother fell ill, he would immediately buy medicine.

"If his mother saw something nice on TikTok, tomorrow that item would arrive (courtesy of Sivasutan),” Thanjappan told reporters when met at his house in Sitiawan, near here, today.
