Our family driver who has been with us for sixteen good years died suddenly today. He arrived through an uncle's recommendation sixteen years ago for rural Kelantan and become proficient in his job.
He was loyal, hardworking and extremely dedicated to his job. He hardly seemed to tire despite my dad's hectic schedule and played a large role in our family. Work certainly wasn't easy but he stuck through it thick and thin.
He displayed the characteristic honesty and sincerity Malays are known for. He saw me through most of my secondary education, marriage and became friends with my two boys. He was with my family before my youngest brother was born and watched him grow.
His large family migrated to Kuala Lumpur and he did a good job as a family provider. He also recently became a grandfather.
He saw my dad through 4 general elections and was no doubt a big help to him.
As expected, there was sadness and tears all around.
May he rest in peace.
