THEIR third brother was cremated yesterday afternoon but that has not put a stop to the dispute among family members.

Yesterday, The New Paper reported an ugly stand-off on Sunday among four brothers over whether or not their third brother Mr Ong Boon Pin's wake should be held in the family home at Vaughan Road in Upper Serangoon.

The late Mr Ong's eldest brother Mr Ong Eng Seng, 56, who runs the family business, explained to Lianhe Wanbao yesterday that his family was "still in mourning" over his father's death three years ago, and that their mother was worried that the wake of their brother would bring bad luck to the family.
