Harnek Singh locked the doors to his ute and mentally said goodbye to his family as a group of armed figures who rammed him in his Auckland driveway approached under darkness.
All the 53-year-old man remembers of the December 23 incident - which happened at 10.20pm - is honking the horn to his Toyota Hilux as his windows were broken.
On a patch of property normally reserved for summertime movie nights and feel-good concerts, Canton Township held a somber memorial ceremony just before dusk Tuesday in remembrance of local residents who have succumbed to COVID-19.
As a collection of bundled-up, socially-distanced onlookers watched under overcast skies, elected officials and representatives from Canton s major religious faiths delivered comforting speeches and prayers from a podium set up beneath an outdoor amphitheater in Heritage Park.
At the time of the ceremony, 92 Canton residents had died from the effects of COVID-19. Each of their lives was represented by a row of 92 white flags that whipped in the strong wind at the base of the stage.

Members of the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha group in their new Oxford premises OXFORD’S Sikh community had struggled for more than 40 years to find a permanent home but last year they opened the city’s first temple. The group had been moving from venue to venue, beginning at a house in Headington and at one stage using Cheney School.

They were refused retrospective permission by Oxford City Council and, after the Sikhs appealed, the Planning Inspectorate upheld the decision, citing traffic, road safety, noise and disturbance to residents among his concerns.
