Dr. Kamsiah and I last met our good friend, Dato Dr. Mahadzir Khir at Istana Negara when we attended a formal dinner given by Persatuan Dato2 Kedah Darul Aman in honour of Our King Al-Sultan Almu’tasimu Billahi Muhibbuddin Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Badlishah on occasion of His Majesty’s 84th Birthday. He was in the brim of good health. Alas, he has passed on, all too soon. Al Fatihah.–Din Merican
ALFATIHAH..
And sooner or later, we too will meet our MAKER.
Just make sure we are all “prepared” for the endings.
Ameen
