Bik Wa had worked very hard as a telephone operator .. and came home very tired from work ... she had to cook ... and she was asthmatic (lelah). One day she suffered (possibly chest pain) and Bapak and Mak wanted to take her to hospital. Mak pangku Bik Wa in the back seat of the car. Before they could get to hospital, Bik Wa passed away on Mak's lap; she was blue ... indicating cyanosis ... from lack of oxygen ... Bik Wa probably died of asphyxia or a heart attack. - from me (based on my Mak's account of Bik Wa's demise).
----
Bik Wa passed away first, and less than 3 years later, Pak Zan too passed away. Pak Zan told my Mak that he missed his wife (arwah Bik Wa) very much. Mak taught Pak Zan how to care for his 4 kids after Bik Wa passed away. Pak Zan was close to Mak; they were actually blood relatives from the Merican clan in Penang. After both Bik Wa and Pak Zan died, Mak Bedah helped to look after the 4 kids in PJ, as they were orphans (anak yatim piatu).
----
Date of Pak Zan's demise was calculated from Syawal's info:
FB post dated 13 May 2014 - "33 years ago ... Early morning call from hospital.." - from Syawal (Sha MoZa in Facebook).
