A traditional Chinese coffin maker in Malaysia, Goh Khuay Par, continues making coffins by hand, drawing on a family tradition passed down through multiple generations. The work, which he has done for more than five decades, involves producing traditional Chinese coffins known as “Mei Hua.”

Across the outlets, the core focus is on preserving a cultural craft that is becoming less common over time. The Independent describes Goh’s role in carrying on the skill within his family, emphasizing its continuation through three generations. A related Canadian report mirrors the same premise, while an ABC News International piece similarly highlights his long-running practice and the family heritage behind it.

While the stories are largely aligned in content and framing, the emphasis differs slightly: one outlet pairs the account with photographs of the craft and Goh’s work, while others foreground the heritage angle and the craft’s gradual disappearance. All sources present Goh as the central figure keeping the traditional method alive in Malaysia.
