‘3 years and look how people still miss you’ — fans remember Aloysius Pang on his death anniversary

Singapore — It’s been three years since actor Aloysius Pang died in an accident during a military training exercise, but he has been far from forgotten.

Mr Pang died after participating in a live-firing exercise at Waiouru Training Area in New Zealand.

He entered the cabin of a Singapore Self-Propelled Howitzer to check on its gun mechanism on Jan 19, 2019. When the barrel of the gun was lowered, it hit Mr Pang in the chest and abdomen, causing him serious injuries. 

Despite several surgeries to save his life, Mr Pang died in hospital four days later.

The actor was only 28 years old.

On Jan 23, three years to the day he died, netizens started leaving comments on the last post on the actor’s Instagram page.

The post had been put up on Jan 23, 2019, by one of Mr Pang’s brothers on behalf of their family.

Fans paid tribute to the slain actor.

“Till now still missing you,” one wrote.

Many others wrote comments along that vein as well.

Singaporean actress Carrie Wong also commented on the post.

Earlier this month, it was announced that the last movie Mr Pang was working on before he died will be released later this year.

Mr Dasmond Koh, who founded the actor’s artiste management agency NoonTalk Media, said that finishing the movie would honour the actor.

“The original plan was for him to return to Singapore after his military training in New Zealand, shoot a television drama, then take another week to return to Thailand to finish filming the movie,” Mr Koh told Lianhe Zaobao.

Mr Koh also said that finishing the movie would honour the actor.

Work on the film has begun again, he added, with Xu Bin and Damien Teo, who are also Noon Talk talents, presently in Thailand for filming.

Bae Jin-young, who is part of K-Pop group CIX, is set to launch his acting career with the movie, which stars Pang as someone who encounters the supernatural.

On Jan 13, NoonTalk Media announced over Facebook and Instagram that it was their pleasure to be able to work” with the Korean singer on “a special project for all of us #NoonTalkFamily.”

The agency added it will be giving “More information soon” about the project. /TISG
