 The municipal government of Taiping in Perak named a road after him for his contribution to the economy.In June 1865 he was captured and sentenced to death by the local Malay chief of Matang during the Larut War among secret societies, yet the Malay chief honoured him by calling him "Panglima" Ah Chong (Commander Ah Chong).After his heroic death, it was said his godship was very effective for his worshippers and so peoples of Matang and coastal dwellers built shrines to worship him.
