Kota Kinabalu: The family of the Olivia Richard, 46, who passed away in Korea on Wednesday (4 Dec) is seeking to raise RM45,000 to bring her body back to Kg Novoung in Papar.
Olivia’s younger sister of seven siblings, Jenny, said she leaves behind three children aged nine to 14.
“Olivia has worked for over 10 years in South Korea in agriculture. We found out about the news through a village WhatsApp group. We were all shocked. Olivia and I don’t talk much on the phone but she is always in contact with our mother and her kids,” she said when contacted.
She said Olivia was found to have died in her sleep and her body is still at the Andong Sungso Hospital morgue pending funding while Limbahau Assemblyman Datuk Juil Nuatim and Papar MP Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali were among the first from the government to assist us.
“We hope that the transportation process won’t take much longer,” she said.
Meanwhile, she reminded people not to post or share fake news on social media as she has seen misinformation regarding the situation being posted.
“Please make your donations out to our sister, Dora Richard (1151 2109 0723) who lives at No. 37, Taman Aman, Jalan Lintas, 88450, Kota Kinabalu,” she said.
