Bicara Harta Pusaka Long Lah

Alhamdullilah, all settled. The formalities were completed at the Pejabat Pusaka Jabatan Ugama Johor in Segamat today. I have relinquished all my share of Long's harta to Timah for her to ensure that those that were not entitled to it under Syara'iah Law -- namely Normah, and Katek's three children -- get something based on budibicara among them.

After the final due processes at the Pejabat Ugama and Pejabat Tanah, we went to Bumbun to see the land -- the tapak rumah where I was born. I felt a tinge of sadness to see the overgrowth that could hide a baby elephant. However, this piece of land would soon be sold off since that would be the best thing to do. After all, none of us, or our children, are living anywhere near Segamat to want to develop it or to look after it. And it would be sadder still if quarrels emanate over this small piece of property.
