One of John's friends and a Chin activist Salai Z T Lian said, “I am deeply saddened by John’s death. I know that John has not only loved democracy and freedom but also believed in them. He was one of the heroes in September, 2007Demonstration on Yangon streets. John usually spoke of Democracy and Freedom, and often criticized Regime Education System when we even met at Tea Shop. Indeed, he has a lot of dream for himself, his Chinland and his country. His voice for Democracy and Freedom will remain forever although he left us on 28/8/2009 as a refugee life in Malaysia”.
“John death is unbelievable for anyone who knows him. I feel like a bad dream when I heard the news John has died. Immediately, I went to the hospital to get death certificated but he was still a live in my heart. I cannot believe that even I saw his body in mortuary. I believed that he may have many words to say with his family, his friends and the Chin people around the world. He is our hero and we have to learn many things from what he has done in the past” Salai Ram Nun Cung said.
