Bapak returned from Kirkby in 1963 and continued teaching. He taught at a secondary school - Sekolah Pelajar Lanjutan in Jasin, Malacca in 1963. He taught Form 1A (Tingkatan 1A).

Bapak, Mak, Abang Sharif and Pah lived separately from the rest of us kids. Bapak, Mak, Abang Sharif and Pah lived in a small brick Government Quarters in Jasin, on a slope near a rubber estate. The school was on a hill behind some bushes.

At the time, the British Government did not allow its Government servant to fit all the family members in the quarters. There were 2 bedrooms, a living-room, a kitchen, a bathroom and separate WC and a covered air well for drying clothes.

The rest of the kids - myself, Rabi, Farid and Amin lived with Nenek Inchek and our aunts and uncles in Banda Hilir. They helped to look after us. I visited my parents in Jasin monthly - Pak Ji Usop would drive me from Banda Hilir and back the same day as I was not allowed to sleep in the quarters.

There was a big fat white lady who would come to check whether the other kids came to live in the quarters. My parents made sure I was not there when the fat lady came. I hated her and I hated the system because it separated me from my parents and my 2 elder sibs.

Bapak's class which he taught at Jasin 1963. He is seated in the middle of 3 teachers.

We came to visit Bapak and Mak at the Govt quarters in Jasin on weekends when we were allowed to. We were allowed to play for awhile and then we had to leave. It was very sad indeed. I was 5 years old in 1963.

Sayyids

Yemen Sayyids

In Yemen the Sayyids are more generally known as sadah; they are also referred to as Hashemites. In terms of religious practice they are Shia, Sunni, and Sufi. Sayyid families in Yemen include the Rassids, the Qasimids, the Mutawakkilites, the Hamideddins, some Al-Zaidi of Ma'rib, Sana'a, and Sa'dah, the Ba 'Alawi sada families in Hadhramaut, Al-Wazir of Sana'a, Al-Shammam of Sa'dah, the Sufyan of Juban, the Al-Jaylani of Juban, and others. - Wikipedia

India Sayyids

In India, Sayyids of Hadramawt (who originated mainly from the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf) gained widespread fame. There is a big community of Sayyids settled in and around the Nanganallur region in Chennai. They can trace their ancestry directly to the Sayyids of Iraq.- Wikipedia

Gujarat Sayyids

In Gujarat, most of the Sayyid families are descended from individuals invited by the Muslim rulers of Gujarat to serve as advisers and administrators, and granted jagirs.[citation needed] During the period of Sultan Mahmud Begada (1458–1511), the Sayyid of Gothada, Thasra, and Pali, a Zaidi Sayyid – Saadat-e-Bara. Sultan Mahmud Begada provided land to three Sayyid brothers and a grant to settle there after the victory of Pavagadh fort. In 1484 the young Sultan, after laying siege to the fort for twenty months, conquered it on 21 November 1484. He then transferred his capital to Champaner, which he completely rebuilt at the foothills of the Pavagadh fort, calling it Muhammadabad. During Mughal rule in Gujarat (1570–1750), they held the majority of the civil and ecclesiastical posts. For example, the Sayyids of Thasra, Kheda district were invited to serve as administrators and judges by the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, and provided land grants to settle there. They also provided an important element in the Mughal army, and many are still found in the old Muslim garrison towns such as Ahmedabad. In addition, many of the early Sufi saints that came to Gujarat belonged to Sayyid families. Most of these Sayyid families came from Central Asia, Iran, Yemen, Oman, Basra, and Bahrain.- Wikipedia

Southeast Asia Sayyids

Most of the Alawi Sayyids who moved to Southeast Asia were descendants of Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin, especially of Ba 'Alawi sada, majority descendants of migrants from Hadhramaut. Even though they are alleged descendants of Imam Husain, it is uncommon for the female Sayyids to be called Sayyidah, they are more commonly called Sharifah. Most of them live in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Moro Province in Philippines, and Pattani.

Some common surnames of these Sayyids are al-Saqqaf, Shihab (or Shahab), al-Aidaroos, al-Habsyi (or al-Habshi), al-Kaff, al-Aththos, al-Haddad, al-Jufri (or al-Jifri), al-Muhdhar, al-Shaikh Abubakar, al-Qadri, al-Munawwar (see Ba 'Alawi sada for a more complete list). - Wikipedia

Receiving charity (sedekah) for descendants of the Prophet is forbidden, according to Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad himself and Imams of the Prophets household. - Wikipedia

After Rabi was born, Bapak left Parliament, and we returned to Banda Hilir.

Bapak lost his job when he left Parliament and returned to Banda Hilir. His superior (employer) wrote evil of him when he suddenly quit his job, giving 24 hours notice.

Bapak was happy that he was back in Banda Hilir. But he was jobless! An Indian friend helped him and Bapak got his teaching job back.

Bapak resumed teaching at Sekolah Menengah Gajah Berang, Melaka. I haven't been to this school.

The school was new and was 4 years old. It was established in 1956. It is on Jalan Gajah Berang road and sited near the Indian sector of Malacca, near the Chettis, between Tranquera and Jalan Hang Tuah. The school is 13 min drive (4.5 km) or 41 min walk (3.2 km) from Masjid Banda Hilir (home).

The school was officiated when Bapak was there. It was officiated by a man whose name was the same as the man whom Bapak ran away from in Parliament. Bapak then left the school and went overseas.

After Pejabat Pelajaran as Asssitant Organiser of Malay Schools in 1958 (year I was born), Bapak moved to live in Petaling Jaya (PJ).

Bapak worked as a Simultaneous Interpreter at the Malaysian Parliament, Kuala Lumpur, in the first Cabinet. Bapak explained it was necessary to do simultaneous interpretation for the first Cabinet as the language spoken and written was English, which most of the Malay Cabinet ministers did not know well.

Bapak had a small two-door car. I think it was a Fiat Bianca. I have not seen it but only in photos. There are old photos of sight-seeing in Kuala Lumpur.

Fiat cars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fiat_passenger_cars

We lived in a chain-linked fenced brick house at No. 3, Jalan 6-28, Petaling Jaya. I don't recall the house at all. There is no photo of the house. It may have been demolished by now.

When we lived in Petaling Jaya in 1959, there were 3 sibs - Abang Sharif, Pah and myself (youngest). We played inside and outside the house, within the fenced compound. Abang Sharif had a tricycle, which he rode and carried Pah and myself. I don't remember the tricycle in the photos.

It was in PJ that we had a Chinese amah as our family maid. I don't know her name. She helped to look after us (the kids) while my parents worked. There was one incident my mother told me where the maid failed to monitor us and Pah climbed the rear fence and fell on her head, which partially damaged her brain. I guess it was due to a concussion.

Also in PJ, there was a group photo taken of our family and relatives. The Chinese maid was in this group photo, holding me as a baby in loose diapers. Mak Sarah & Pak Cik Atan and kids were present. Mak Nya & Pak Aziz and kids were present. There was a more senior Chinese maid in the photo (at far left). She was probably Che-cheh, my grandfather's maid, whom he brought under his care from after WWII in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

Later, my younger sister Rabi'ah (Rabi) was born when we lived in PJ. She was born at Assunta Hospital. Mak said she was born bald (kepala botak, botak head) and the priests there wanted to adopt her because she was born bald, which they liked. We returned to Banda Hilir, Malacca after Rabi was born. There is no photo of baby Rabi in PJ.

After PJ, Bapak took the opportunity to leave the Parliament when Haji Khalil bin Hussin passed away.

Haji Khalil was a family friend and later a relative. His daughter Che Mahani bt Haji Khalil married to HABHAL on 12 April 1970 after HABHAL's first wife passed away (in late 1960s). Haji Khalil was the first Mufti of Melaka. Khalil bin Hussin, Mohd Sharif bin Ismail, and Nordin bin Ismail (younger brother of Mohd Sharif) went to Makkah to perform the Hajj rite together in 1896. They went for Hajj in 1896 and returned to Malacca later in that year, after Haji Mohd Sharif's eldest and only son, Mohd Yusope, was born on 11 February 1896 in Banda Hilir, Malacca.

Bapak left Parliament for good and returned to Malacca. He left Parliament for reasons only known to him, some of which he shared with me.

Bapak left because he felt cheated by his superior.

Bapak left because it was too expensive to live in Kuala Lumpur.

Otherwise he would not have left Kuala Lumpur - his birthplace and hometown where he grew up.

Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Yusope 1931-2009 (6) GES, Jasin 1953-1955

Bapak returned to Banda Hilir from Kirkby, His father passed away.

Bapak registered for work and started teaching at the Government English School (GES) at Jasin, Malacca.

I have not been to the school but I saw the school buildings from a distance when I was a small girl (about ages 3-5). It had many Indian schoolchildren. There are photos taken of the classes and inside the classroom.

Bapak, Mak, Abang Sharif, and Kakak Sharifah (Pah) lived in a small brick bungalow for teachers.

I visited the bungalow once a month when we lived in Malacca. I still remember the layout of the bungalow. It had 2 bedrooms, 1 large living-room, a small kitchen and separate bath and WC, and a place to dry clothes.

There is a photo of us (the kds) playing outside in the front yard, some climbing the big tree in front of the bungalow.

There was a tiny lane that led from the bungalow down to the rubber trees at left, which turned right and went to the school. The school was on a hilltop.
