In 1991 he was gunned down by fucking thugs trying to extort money. Now years later because his killer is now suffering from Parkinson's we decided to deport the wanker back to his native Malaysia before he became too sick to. What did his killer say on release. Besides asking for forgiveness he also had the cheek to forgive Chang's family. WTF? You killed a man, but his relatives are the ones that need to be forgiven?

Fucking tosser. This is not remorse. He is saying "well its also your fault" nee ner nee ner. Its just rubbing it in.Victor Chang's family blasts 'sorry' killer Chiew Seng Liew
HIS parole has left a family deep in grief and a nation outraged - now Chiew Seng Liew, the killer of heart surgeon Victor Chang, has used his first hours of freedom to seek forgiveness.
But the respected doctor's family have spurned his plea, describing it as hollow.
"He had 21 years to make an apology. He refused to do so," Victims of Crime Assistance League spokesman Howard Brown said on behalf of the Changs. "He's only sorry he has lost 21 years of his life."
Smiling at times as he walked through Kuala Lumpur Airport, Liew, 69, was yesterday far removed from the family's misery as he was welcomed in-to the arms of his son Andrew after the NSW Supreme Court approved his release and deportation to Malaysia, his country of birth.
His hands trembling with Parkinson's disease, Liew told Channel Seven he wanted Dr Chang's family to know he was remorseful. "I want to apologise to the family," Liew told Channel Seven. "I tell them I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry. I hope you forgive me, the family. Please."
The Chang family were devastated by the decision to release Liew after he served 21 years of a 26-year sentence, believing he should have been jailed for life.
Liew's parole was opposed by the NSW Government, but on Thursday the NSW Supreme Court decreed he should be set free and deported to Malaysia.
Liew, who gunned down Dr Chang in the northern Sydney suburb of Mosman in 1991 in a botched kidnap attempt, claimed he was "changed" and said he could understand the family's grief.
"His wife, his children, the whole family suffer, too. Now I changed. I understand already. I do everything wrong."
He also claimed he could empathise with their suffering and - controversially - he forgave them, too.
"I forgave them because I also suffer," Liew said. "My family suffer, too. Every day I (am) thinking about my problem. Now I get sick already (with) Parkinson's disease."
Daughter Kwei Fei Liew, who hopes her father can walk her down the aisle when she marries on Saturday, begged the public to give him "one more chance".
"This is a very, very wrong thing," Ms Liew told Channel 7.
"These things make us feel guilty for the past 21 years.
"We understand also the Victor Chang family can't also accept these things because we lost our father for the past 21 years and they also lost their father. Give my father one more chance.
"My father will definitely not do this thing any more."
But speaking on behalf of the Chang family, Mr Brown said Liew's actions could never be forgiven. "He had 21 years to make an apology," he said.
"He refused to do so. Apologies are very hollow when they are only spoken and not followed up by action.
"He had 21 years to do the things necessary to prove he was truly remorseful. He has done none of those things, such as participating in rehabilitation programs treating his offending behaviour. As far as the family is concerned, he's only sorry he has lost 21 years of his life. The Chang family lost their husband and father for the rest of their lives."
Dr Chang, a much-loved cardiovascular surgeon, was shot twice in the head on July 4, 1991.
Liew and his co-offender Phillip Choon Tee Lim, who was released on parole and deported to Malaysia in 2010 after spending 18 years in jail, deliberately ran their car into Dr Chang's, forcing him to pull over.
After the surgeon refused to give them money, Liew fired the fatal shots and left the surgeon slumped in a gutter.
Liew was handed a 26-year sentence, but the State Parole Authority granted his release one year after his 20-year non-parole period had ended.
NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith appealed that decision in the Supreme Court but failed.
Its wankers like this why I can't criticise death penalty jurisdictions for executing someone who is guilty as sin.
