A bereaved poster reports a government hospital mortuary refused to release a relative's body unless cremation proceeded immediately, citing MOH policy, and barred the usual Chinese three-day wake because the deceased had RVD suppressed to undetectable levels for years. The family says they were urged to wait for next-day cremation and are asking gov hospital and mortuary workers whether this is standard practice. Single first-person account, hospital unnamed, no MOH response cited.
