Jalil passed away

On Friday 18 Jan, 2013 Ham and I (and Chor) went back to Ipoh to see Jalil, Ham’s youngest brother at the Hospital Tuanku Bainun. He suffered a stroke the night before. He was in coma the whole time we were there (from 12:30 to 1:30 pm). His wife and daughters were at his bedside.

We went back to Kuala Lumpur at 4:00 pm. And at 3:30 am that night (19 Jan 2013) Ham received a call to say that Jalil had passed away, without regaining consciousness. Apparently he had a blocked blood vessel at the brain that affected his respiratory system. Ham went back to Ipoh with Hj Alias and his wife Hamidah. Jalil is Hamidah’s uncle. I couldn’t go because I had a wedding to attend that night and won’t be back in time for it, if I went. I was, however, glad that I went to see him at the hospital earlier when some of his closer relatives didn’t do so.

Jalil was a few week’s short of being 55 years old when he passed away. He left behind a wife and nine children.
