Bapak said there was a rombongan from Kelantan to Singapore; there were many ustaz.

Kak Fuziah grew up in Kelantan with her step-mother and returned to Singapore to see her birth mother and relatives when she was 23 (1973). She has met all of HABHAL's people.

Kak Fuziah has many photos of the families and relatives in Singapore. She will dig for them.

Tamby bin Hj Ahmad and Ustaz Hj Abdul Latiff

I have with me a collection of 6 small B/W photos dated 17.12.48, which possibly belonged to my father (Bapak) and his father (Walid). The photos were taken in Banda Hilir in Melaka on Friday, 17 December 1948, 3 years after WWII ended. They were probably taken before or after solat Jumaat (Friday prayer). The B/W photos are printed on white photographic paper imprinted 'Crown Copyright Reserved'. The handwriting does not resemble that of my father Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Yusope (Bapak). However, the handwriting could be that of my paternal grandfather Mohd Yusope bin Hj Mohd Sharif (Walid).  There are altogether 3 people in the photos, minus the photographer. The names handwritten in black ink and pencil on the back of some photos are Tamby b. H. Ahmad and Ostaz H. Abd. Latiff. The other person(s) could be my father and his father; it could be my young father because of his Indian look when he was a teenager (aged 17) in these photos. The photographer could be his father (Walid) as he was known to have photographed many things and events in Melaka and Kuala Lumpur between 1929, 1937 (when he worked in KL) and 1953 (when he died in Melaka).

The date given in these photos is 17 December 1948. There is a another family photo with relatives taken at Pulau Besar in the same year, probably an earlier photo. 

I do not know the people whose names are mentioned in this post except my father and his father.

Please let me know if you recognise any of the people in these photos or if you are related to any of the men/boys.

Compare the photos of "Latiff" in the above photos and the one below. Are they the same person?

Family at Pulau Besar, Malacca 1948

All of them at Pulau Besar. Nenek Inche's husband is Mohd Yusope (Walid) at far right with songkok. He was called "Walid" which means father in Arabic. Bearded Haji Nordin bin Ismail (Ujong Pasir) is at far left. He was nicknamed King George because he had beard and resembled King George VI of England. Behind Haji Nordin is Haji Yusuf bin Buntal (Pak Ji Usop of Semabok, suami Mak Lah). Next to Walid is Pak Abas (Abas bin Haji Abdul Rahman, suami Mak Ainon Umbai).

The persons were labeled by Bapak.
