Ben Goi, husband to former television actress, Tracy Lee Mei Ling and father to their 8-month-old son, died last Sunday, February 3 at the age of 43. He was in Malaysia when he passed away.
The couple got married in October 2017 and the wedding was attended by many VIPs in the Singapore political scene, corporate bigwigs as well as local celebrities.
Ben Goi’s sudden death was reported widely in the media but his wife, Tracy Lee, has largely stayed out of the limelight and remain silence throughout the period of grief. Today, she broke her silence and posted an Instagram update to bid farewell to her beloved husband with a few short, but moving sentences. The original post was written in Chinese and we have taken the liberty to translate it as below:
“谢谢你那么爱护我和小宝
Thank you for loving me and our precious baby so much
我们约好将来天上再聚好吗
Shall we make a date to reunite again in Heaven?
到时再给我一个深深的拥抱
When that time comes, give me a deep hug.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends and family members – thank you for your condolences and encouragements to my family and I. Also, thank you to the media for giving us space to grief. Maybe I won’t be able to reply each of your messages individually, but I am really grateful. Thank you everyone.”
This must a be a very difficult and trying period for the Goi family and Tracy Lee. May she find peace and solace soon and her son to grow up strong and healthy, remember the legacy of his beloved father.
