At 8 pm last night (21st Aug), the girl was brought to Choa Chu Kang Cemetery No. 38 and placed in a coffin. Mediums began chanting for her in front of about 60 people. A "funeral" was held for the girl, in the hope of removing the spirit possessing her.

This was witnessed and reported by a local reporter for OMY news. The "funeral" was held according to standard practices right down to the rituals and offerings. After 3 hours, the girl was declared "cleansed" and was allowed to be "reborn". All the offerings and props used in the "funeral" were then burned and destroyed.

The girl was said to be "alright" after the "funeral". She had suddenly gone temperamental over the past few months; she did not know who she was or what she was doing. Desperate, her parents decided to hold the "funeral" to exorcise the spirits binding her.
