Rose Chan’s niche still a draw
LEGENDARY striptease queen Rose Chan is “resting” quietly in Beow Hong Lim Columbarium in Air Itam, Penang, but is still occasionally receiving visitors who are either curious about her or dearly miss her companionship.
As millions of Chinese worldwide observed the Qing Ming (All Souls Day) last week, Chan, whose real name is Chan Wai Chang, had a few visitors paying homage to her at the niche located on the second floor of the columbarium.
Caretaker Y.T. Woo said many visitors, whom he believed were Chan's secret admirers and fans, visited her niche and placed flowers last week, though not on the day itself.
“I do not know whether the visitors were her relatives or admirers. They just came and left.

Woo, however, noted that Chan's niche was not as “popular” as that of local singer Lee Yee, who popularised hits such as Chun Tian Li (Spring Time).
