Hj Yusuf bin Buntal

Yusof bin Buntal and Banda Hilir relatives at Pulau Besar, Melaka in 1948

Yusuf bin Buntal circa 1949/1950 (after Abang Muin was born in 1949; before he went for Hajj in 1954)
@ Pak Ji Usop Semabok @ Imam Masjid Semabok
Deceased 1987

Full name: Haji Yusuf bin Buntal
Call names: Cikgu Haji Yusuf/Imam Haji Yusuf. I called him Pak Ji Usop.
Occupation: Teacher and Headmaster; Imam Masjid Semabok
Deceased: 24 September 1987
Car: Black Morris Minor

Wife's full name: Hjh Ramlah bt Hj Mohd Yusope (b.1927-d.26 Oct 2001)
Call name: Her son Abang Muin referred to her as Melah/Mak Melah. I called her Mak Lah

Mak Lah was a full-time housewife. She was a petite woman and soft spoken. She never scolded anyone when we visited her.

She blinked too frequent, as if there was dust in her eyes.

She always cooked for us and I enjoyed eating at her house when we visited her family in Semabok, Malacca, during school holidays.

Mak Lah's house is still extant, beside Kak Bibah's house, in front of Kak Salmah's house, and near Masjid Semabok where her husband had served as Imam Masjid Semabok. Her daughter Salmah lives in the proximity of Mak Lah's house - Kak Salmah lives behind Mak Lah's house.

Update 21 Dec 2014 (from Kamariah isteri Farid):
Kak Bibah's house is beside her parent's house.

Mak Lah's husband was a famous man. Even Malay folks living in Perth in Western Australia in 1989 knew him as their Qadhi. Her husband is Cikgu/Imam Haji Mohd Yusuf bin Buntal of Semabok. He was in a 1948 photo at Pulau Besar.

Mak Lah suffered a stroke and was warded at Hospital Melaka. She passed away on 26 October 2001, aged 74.
