Pics of Allahyarham Azlan Othman

Some of the latest pic I have of Allahyarham Azlan Bin Othman, spot the resemblance? Photos taken during our niece Mimi's wedding ceremony at Bandar Baru UDA, Johor Bahru on 14 March 2009, very healthy. We shared the same interest in Photography and Nikon cameras.



Assassinator monitoring the situation or a Spy@work?

Anyway he was a heavy smoker...

Al-Fatihah

Tibute to my Late Brother Azlan Othman

Last Wednesday, May 27, 2009, my brother who had just past his 50th birthday 12 days before, passed away due to Pancreatic failure. It took less than 24hrs hospitalization in ICU unit and 2 days of minor pain.

A brother whom I always admired, my role model, my closest sibling and mentor, my mirror image, I respected in every which way had gone away, so sudden and so unexpected.

Azlan Bin Othman an ex-Malay College boy, Class of '96, MCKK's First Thoroughbred 92-98, was the deputy school Captain, a gold medal recipient of school award. Nicknamed "Lae" among Koleq Classmates.

A great fan of Pink Floyd, BB King, Bobby Bland... (Indirectly influenced my taste for Blues music and B.B. King.)

The brother whom I am always jealous of, his educational achievement, his career, the attention he gets, the worst part is I am always being mistaken for him. My parents and brothers and sisters will call his nickname "Lan" instead of mine, "Jang" when talking to me.

Anyway, I still respect him and he supported me with pocket money when I was studying in ITM. The amount was not big but enough for me to survive. Our father at the time was a pensioner and only earned meagre sum from his pension.

We are from a big family of 12 siblings. 6 boys and 6 girls, Allahyarham Azlan number nine and myself the eleventh (the second last).

I wish to thank for all the wishes and support we received from all relatives, friends, especially from his ex-Boss Datuk Ketua pengarah yang lama dan yang baru ambil alih Dato' Ahmad Zamzamin dan kesemua staff Bhg Penyelidikan JPM yang hadir di Hospital dan di Johor Bahru, rakan-rakan PTD dan rakan-rakan sekelasnya di MCKK dan MCOBA, saudara-mara, sahabat handai yang mengenalinya.

To Kak Siti and his daughters', Aziyan (born in Taiwan) and Azita (born in China), be strong dan sentiasa doakan untuk Arwah.

To my brother, my mentor, my role model, "Ku doakan semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh kamu dan semoga di tempatkan di kalangan orang-orang yang Salih dan beriman". Al-Fatihah.

Passing of a friend

Yesterday, my friend Mohamed Uzir Suleiman passed away aged 47 years old.

I have known him since 1996 when I joined BSN Commercial Bank. We only got closed after he left and joined PNB as Senior Analyst. He frequently called for ideas, opinions and information and sometimes we had business lunch together. But our contact stopped after he left to join AmGroup. He made me promise not to tell anyone where his current workplace.

He was a nice person. It was a great shock to hear about his departure. "Inna lillah wa inna lillahirajiun..." From Allah we came and to Him we return.

Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas rohnya dan penderitaan yang ditanggungnya dibalas dengan kesejahteraan di akhirat.

AL-FATIHAH

Belasungkawa

Ucapan takziah dan untuk keluarga Allahyarham Ismail bin Hashim, atas kembalinya ke Rahmatullah pada 15/05/08, beberapa hari sekembali dari menunaikan Umrah.

Walaupun hanya mengenalinya dalam waktu yang singkat, tetapi kemesraan yang ditunjukkan amat dihargai. Semuga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan bersama-sama orang-orang yang Sallih.

Al-Fatihah.
