They identified the body through her uniform and her proton saga key chain.

Kho said her daughter key chain was bought in Singapore by a friend. He said he and his wife were relief that the body was found before the Chinese new year. they did not want a post mortem and hoped to bury their daughter as soon as possible.

Chan said she was bitter at first and hoped her daughter was found. But she came to terms with what has happened and is glad that there is a closure for the family.

Ying Qi was going back from school which was closed due to the flash flood. She walked into the monsoon drain at Jalan Rock.
