15.10.2020

 

Today is  the third day of another lock down for our state of Selangor. Partial, that is. 

On a  personal level, today is a sad day for the Omarian family and the late  Dato’ Hj Wan Ismail bin  Wan Daud’s  ( my maternal grandfather) family. My mother’s sister passed away at about 1.45 am today in Alor Star, Kedah.  Just  about three months ago her partner in life passed away. And that too happened  during the total lockdown The sad thing  when deaths or family related events happened during this restricted movement, you feel so helpless. The distance, the SOP to abide by to enable one to  cross border from the state of Selangor to Kedah. The forms that you need to fill  to submit to the police station . By the time its done, the burial event would have been over. Not forgetting the requirements of not more than two persons travelling in one car  for every intended  journey. Otherwise those on duty at strategic points have  the authority to deny your passage through. If you are lucky you just  get away with a warning. In cases where the persons in charge abide strictly  by the rule , you can be smacked with a hefty fine. 

 

My  thoughts and prayers go out to my cousins and the immediate family. 

 

Oh Allah, forgive Wan Halijah bt Wan Ismail and elevate her station among those who are guided. Send her along the path of those who came ,  and forgive us and her.O Lord of the worlds. Enlarge for her her grave and shed light upon her in it. Aamiin

 


This photo was taken on our last visit to Alor Star, Kedah in January 2020.We try to make it a point to visit the elders when ever we make out trip back home to Alor Star, Kedah. Now that mak Teh is gone, there are 3 remaining siblings of Dato Hj Wan Ismail and Che Sofiah”s children. There are Wan Sulaiman, Wan Rodziah and Wan Othman.

Seated with us is Arwah Mak Teh Wan Halijah dan Pak Teh Daud. 


Family Ties are precious threads no matter where we roam, they draw us close to those we love and pull our hearts towards home.
