Moses Lim, a cherished figure in Singapore's entertainment industry, has passed away at the age of 75 due to ischaemic heart disease. Known for his roles in popular TV shows such as "Under One Roof" and "Comedy Nite," Lim was celebrated not only as a comedy actor but also as a devoted family man. His infectious spirit and familiar voice left an indelible mark on the hearts of many Singaporeans. On Monday, friends, family, and fellow celebrities gathered to pay their respects at his funeral, which was marked by an emotional farewell video released on his Facebook page.
The video, created using AI technology and "lovingly created by his friends," featured a younger Moses speaking directly to the camera, delivering a heartfelt message that resonated deeply with his fans.
"Life is like a banquet, there's good food and laughter. Most importantly, I have your company." – Moses Lim
Moses' family shared the video to honor his legacy and express their gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support over the years.
"For so many years, Moses was not only our devoted father, husband, and grandfather; he was also a cherished part of Singapore's heart. We were blessed to share him with the nation, watching as he touched countless lives with his distinctive humour and boundless kindness." – Moses' family
The funeral procession was led by his family, including his wife, two daughters, and grandchildren. As they carried Moses Lim to his final resting place, celebrity chef Heman Tan was seen in tears, following closely behind. The service drew a considerable number of prominent figures from Singapore's entertainment scene, including Chew Chor Meng, Zhu Houren, Aileen Tan, Jeffrey Xu, Felicia Chin, and Tang Miaoling.
Jack Neo, a long-time friend and collaborator, expressed his deep sorrow at Lim's passing.
"My old partner Moses Lim has gone home. I went to send him off for the last time and was overwhelmed with emotions, seeing him lying there peacefully. I told him to rest in peace and thanked him for creating countless miracles with me and J Team which brought so much joy to others." – Jack Neo
The AI-generated video, though a novel approach to saying goodbye, was well-received by Lim's friends and family.
"Those who knew Moses well would understand how this would have brought a twinkle to his eye — he was always the first to embrace new ways to bring joy and laughter to others. While we know this AI-generated message can never truly replace his presence, his adventurous spirit would have been delighted in using technology in such a meaningful way. It gives us comfort to share his familiar voice and infectious spirit with you one final time." – Moses' family
In the video, Moses Lim shared one final message with his fans, encapsulating the love and joy he spread throughout his life.
"I'm grateful to have met so many good friends in this lifetime, a loving family as well as many precious memories. Thank you for your support and love, which has made my life more exciting. What's most important in life isn't material possessions, but how to spread love to others. I hope you will treasure those around you, live a happy and fulfilling life and pass on the love. There isn't a banquet that doesn't end, so I'll be leaving first, but don't be sad, we will meet again in Heaven." – Moses Lim
