Goi and Lee had earlier planned to return on Sunday night, in time to have reunion dinner with the entire family.

It is heartbreaking to know that this dad was really looking forward to celebrating his son’s first birthday on 9 February. 

Goi and Tracy Lee had got married in 2017. Their son was born in 2018.

In a moving tribute on Instagram, Tracy Lee wrote, 

“Hubby, I love you
Thank you for giving me this home
Thank you for doting so much on me and our little precious one
Let’s make a pact to reunite again in heaven, ok?”

Ben Goi was CEO at Tee Yih Jia, a global food manufacturing company. He was also managing director of Montigo Resorts, and held various other positions as well. Tracy Lee has acted in several Mediacorp productions before she chose to quit showbiz in 2015.

“I have lost my beloved son…”

Sam Goi is shattered by the loss of his son.

He has been quoted by Shin Min Daily News as saying, “I have lost my beloved son, nothing will ever heal this pain that I feel in my heart.”

Ben Goi will be cremated at Mandai Crematorium on Thursday, 7 February 2019. Many public figures like Heng Swee Keat, Josephine Teo, Teo Ser Luck, George Yeo, Zoe Tay, Terence Cao etc came down to pay their respects at his wake, at his home in Bukit Timah.
