Former MCA boss Ling Liong Sik has kicked the bucket at 82, marking the first time he’s moved without waiting for an UMNO signal.

As Transport Minister, Ling famously oversaw the Causeway, ensuring everyone remained united in their shared hatred of sitting in a hot car for five fucking hours.

Although University of Singapore trained, he chose Malaysian politics, proving a medical degree can't stop a Sinkie-educated brain from becoming a professional "yes-man."

Current leaders called him a "towering statesman," which is political speak for a guy who never once cockblocked his coalition masters.

He is survived by several universities built for people not invited to the government ones.
