From Siti Salamah, Sharifah Alwiah Syed Sahil and Sharifah Mariam bt Syed Alwi (7 Nov 2011)
The link between the Malacca Arabs and the Penang Arabs is via Ami Aziz Alyamani. Ami Aziz Alyamani was the younger brother of Pahmah. Ami Aziz Alyamani was a man of small stature in old age. However, Tok Kalthom (Batu Uban) said Ami Aziz Alyamani had a big build.
From Bapak
Bapak never mentioned the full name of Pahmah and Ami Aziz Alyamani or their father. I therefore asked Shaik Abdul Aziz Al-Khaiyath - the son of Tok Kalthom in Kg Batu Uban, Penang.
Bapak had told me that Pahmah (Siti Fatimah bt Sheikh Mohamad bin Salem Alyamani) was fair like a Chinese (putih macam Cina). Pahmah could be a Nyonya. Pahmah's younger brother was Abdul Aziz bin Sheikh Mohamad (Ami Aziz Al-Yamani).

There were 2 men named Aziz in Jelutong, Penang. Ami Aziz Alyamani was of small build. The other man, Aziz Ibrahim, was a man of big frame. He was a politician. His biodata is in the Penang Free School magazine.I'm referring to Ami Aziz Alyamani, the man of small stature, who had once owned the European car business in Jalan Anson, Penang, and who married two wives - 1. Siti Rahmah bt Abdul Rashid Makawi and 2. Aishah bt Abdullah (Nek Jepun).

Abdul Aziz bin Sheikh Mohamad (Ami Aziz Al-Yamani) married and lived in Penang, in a small Malay wooden house by the sea at Jelutong Beach.
However, there was another place I met Ami Aziz Alyamani, during Hari Raya Aidilfitri - at an endmost white shophouse where Nek Jepun lived. It was a shophouse by a big tree, before he lived at the yellow house at Hutton Lane.
Did Ami Aziz marry 2 ladies? Yes, he married Nek Jepun later, but did not have any children with her. She had previously married a policeman. They adopted a Chinese girl as their daughter (Mazlifah Aziz). Both Nek Jepun and her adopted daughter often returned to Tokyo, Japan.

From Tok Chu in Air Itam, Penang (27 May 2012)
The British gave Ami Aziz Alyamani a European car business and also a house. This house is a big yellow double-storey bungalow behind Masjid Jalan Hutton (there is a small road at the side of the mosque that leads to his house). The road was formerly Hutton Lane.
Tok Chu is Mohd Nor Merican, the father of Datuk Prof Dr Ahmad Murad Merican.

Ami Aziz Alyamani's brick house was a bright yellow building. The lane is very narrow. There was a car parked in the shed adjacent to the big house. Masjid Jalan Hutton blocks the streetview of his house.

You must clear up the confusion.
ReplyDeleteAziz Ibrahim (Datuk) and Aziz Yamani (Asia Motors) are TWO DIFFERENT persons. They are NOT identical.
Aziz Ibrahim's wife is Datin Wanchik S.M. Zainal Abidin.
Aziz Yamani's wife is Siti Rahmah Makkawi.
Are you sure Aziz Yamani came from Malacca? He is Arab; why should his sibling have 'Bee' after their name which is an Indian Muslim practice?
Please clear this up or remove these posts to prevent further confusion.
Sorry for the confusion. Some clarification.
ReplyDeleteSyed Sheikh Alhady came from Kg Hulu, Melaka, to Jelutong.
Ami Aziz Alyamani was from Jelutong Timur, Penang, who ran Asia Motors car garage at corner of Jalan Anson and Datuk Kramat or Burma Road. He married Siti Rahmah Makawi.
Fatma @ Padma @ Padma Bee was what I have wtitten in my diary. She was described as a fair maiden. Maybe she was adopted or smthg? Maybe she had a Chinese father or grandfather? Bee, Siti, etc can be added later on?
