The limousine taxi they were in crashed into the rear of a chemical trailer truck, killing both passengers and the driver upon impact, said the couple's family members on Dec 28, the first day of the wake in Singapore.
The couple's youngest son, Mr Christopher Ang, 36, a lawyer, said it was a routine trip that his parents had taken many times before and "nothing out of the ordinary".
Mr Edmund Ang had retired after a long career in the information technology (IT) field, working at companies like IBM and Oracle, while Madam Ng was a housewife. The couple would fly to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and book a limousine taxi service at the airport.
This time, they were on the way to spend the holiday with the family of Madam Ng's nephew, who wanted to be known only as Mr Teo.
When Mr Teo, 50, did not hear from the couple, he went to the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur on Dec 23 to check on them. The hotel had no record of them.
