TWO years after Carmen Mark died in Singapore, her heart finally “reunited” with her parents in Penang on Friday.

Her heart was beating quickly inside organ recipient Serene Lee, as Carmen’s father, Mark Kok Wah, 46, listened through a stethoscope.

“Her heart is beating really fast,” he said, listening for about a minute.

Carmen’s heart continued to beat quickly when the stethoscope was passed to her mother, Ariess Tan, 43.

While Kok Wah maintained his composure, Tan broke into tears, telling the media between sobs that finally, after two years, she and her husband were able to “hear” Carmen again.

The “reunion” was held at Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s office at Komtar this afternoon in front of local media and reporters from Singapore’s Straits Times, who had followed Lee, a Singaporean. – September 16, 2017.
