Al-Fatihah ~~

My deepest condolences to our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for the demise of his loving wife, Datin Seri Paduka Endon Mahmood (1940 - 2005)


No one could have imagined the pain she endured. More importantly, no good-hearted person deserves to feel that kind of pain. At least she is at peace now. May Allah bless her kind soul.
It is very devastating to lose a parent. I speak from experience. Although you know they are sick and that day will eventually come, the feeling of utter sadness and devastation just washes over your body. You feel numb. You think, "Oh God, I can't believe he/she is gone." How does one cope when realising you just lost the love of your life? Despite knowing this fact, the PM was the pillar of strength for his children. But we are all humans. Seeing a picture of him holding back his tears after burying his wife on the NST website couldn't have been sadder.
While the country was mourning for the loss of our First Lady, some insensitive Malaysians decided to relish on the idea that Monday might be declared a holiday. According to a former colleague (who is a senior columnist and editor at the NST), SMSes were being sent nationwide by someone saying that the former Deputy Prime Minister Tun Ghafar Baba had also "passed away" and that a joint funeral should be held since the PM's wife had also died. I would like to ask this person, "How can you live in your skin?" By the by, Tun Ghafar is still alive, although quite ill. What the hell kind of community do we live in, people? How some people can be so shallow and blatantly rude is beyond me.
I know it's a little pre-mature to say this (since we still have two months to go before the new year), but I think this year was by far the worst year ever! So many catastrophes, so many lives perished.
Life is short. Let's be good to ourselves and to other people.
