Dr Jariah Masud (Mak Cik Jariah)

From Nonie (anak Pak Din in FB, 12 Dec 2014) and from SMS (13 Dec 2014, 3:34pm): 
Pak Cik Abdul Rahim bin Mohd Rashid (anak Tok Rashid Serdang) is married to Dr Jariah Masood. Dr Jariah teaches Family Finance at UPM Serdang. Jariah Masood is kakak ipar Pak Cik Hassan. She is the wife of Pak Cik Hassan's brother, Abdul Rahim b Mohd Rashid.

Her FB says that she is from Rembau. 

Bapak had informed me about his relative, Jariah Mas'ud, and I went to search for her. Jariah had studied in Fresno, California when I was studying in California in 1976-1982. I had met her then and ate at her place, some time between 1976 and 1980.

Pak Cik Hassan and Mak Cik Milah visited Kg Chicha in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan in June 2010

Pak Cik Hassan and Mak Cik Milah visited us for the first time in June 2010. They came to visit their besan (Melati's mother-in-law) and to attend the daughter's wedding reception at a nearby hall across the road from her house.

From my childhood days, I can remember Pak Cik Hassan who worked somewhere in Kelantan. He was in the tobacco industry and rode an open jeep (buggy). Bapak liked him very much and they often met.

I remember Mak Cik Milah from my childhood days. She was tall and thin, and is Tok Alang's daughter. I didn't know where she worked until Bapak told me. Mak Cik Milah informed me about the Tsunami December 2004 when she was on holiday at Batu Ferringhi in Penang.

Pak Cik Hassan and Mak Cik Milah visited their besan in December 2014
I again met Melati and her youngest daughter in Dec 2014 at Mak Cik Milah's besan's house, near where they had the wedding reception last time in 2010. The daughter is now 5 years old. She's very pretty. I also met Melati's husband, Wan - I don't know his full name. They have 2 sons studying in Egypt - I saw them in FB, ages 13 and 15.

Update on Pak Cik Hassan in early 2013
Mak Bedah's friend in my Facebook informed that Pak Cik Hassan recently suffered from mild stroke and was hospitalised.

---
Update from Pak Cik Hassan himself when we met at his besan's house in KB in Dec 2014
Pak Cik Hassan is fine now. He recovered from the stroke and is doing ok. He attended Ceragem sessions which helped him a lot and improved his overall health. I am really happy to hear from Pak Cik Hassan himself. Pak Cik Hassan told me to try Ceragem as it has really beneficial effects on health. I still haven't located a place in KB to have a look at the Ceragem set up.

---
Update from Hasnah Hashim (my former classmate at MGHS, Malacca) in Melbourne in Dec 2014
She bought a Ceragem bed for RM8K a long time ago. She has tried it before, and she says it is good for her muscle aches. She brought her Ceragem bed to Melbourne. I must try the Ceragem bed and get the bed for myself. It seems like a good thing to have in the house.

Update from Pak Cik Hassan and Mak Cik Milah on 31 January 2015
Pak Cik Hassan and Mak Cik Milah went for Umrah in Dec 2014 with Al-Quds. They have just returned from Umrah.

Pak Cik Hassan and Halimah drove from KL, stayed overnight at Kuala Krai and then drove to KB. They drove a brand new Peugeot - Yus said it is a nice car.

Pak Cik Hassan, Mak Cik Milah and Halimah visited us at home in Taman Makmur, Kg Chicha.

Hj Yusof bin Ahmad
Hj Yusof is the younger brother of Tok Rashid Serdang.

Pak Cik Hassan informed that Tok Rashid Serdang's younger brother Yusof, married Dr Hamzah's daughter, Arfah. Their son is Prof Nordin. Mak Cik Milah also wrote the same in FB.

From my book, Biography of the Early Malay Doctors 1900-1957
Dr Hamzah bin Mohd Taib (1900-1955) was an early Malay doctor from Johor (pages 448-463). He had 10 children from his first wife, Hajah Safiah bt Dato' Haji Abdullah: Anisah, Rokiah, Arfah, a daughter (deceased at childhood), Jamaliah, Mustafa, Md Yusof, Khadijah, Yunus, and Ishak (pages 458-459).

I had mentioned about Hajah Arfah and her husband Haji Yusoff Ahmad on page 459. Haji Yusoff Ahmad was Senior Manager of Ford Motors in Singapore. They have five children-Aziz, Ismail, Rosli, Professor Dr Nordin, and Latifah.

I don't know Prof Nordin bin Haji Yusoff bin Ahmad, his siblings and parents. I have not met Prof Nordin Haji Yusoff.

Haji Yusoff bin Ahmad is the younger brother of Tok Rashid Serdang (Tok Rashid is the eldest). Prof Nordin's grandfather is Dr Hamzah bin Mohd Taib, an early Malay doctor.

From me:
I remember Tok Alang. He was very thin and very tall. He usually wore a white Chinese singlet and a blue-white kain pelekat. Whenever we visited Tok Alang at home in Kampung Baru in KL, Bapak and Tok Alang would talk and their conversation was endless. I don't know what they talked about. Nenek Alang would always cook lunch for us. It took her very long to cook as she had to go to pasar first and then clean the fish and vegetables before she got down to cooking. I could die waiting for lunch to be ready. I don't understand why she took so long to cook. I later found out that she didn't have a stove and was sharing a stove with a neighbour in the vicinity, at "rumah atas". That explains it I guess.

Mak Cik Jamilah/Makcik Mila (Jamilah bt Muhamad Saleh) said she is the eldest child of Pak Lang and Mak Lang, but Bapak said to me that Tok Alang had another daughter and Makcik Mila was second.

--------

From Mak:
Mak said the family was doing well by selling wedding linen and prep (perhiasan perkahwinan). They were very good seamstress and made beautiful wedding stuff for Malay weddings. One of their best products is the wedding bed cover and throw pillows which nobody else in KL could make. I've seen a blue bed cover they made and that was very well-sewn despite not having a sewing machine. A lot of their handiwork was hand-sewn.

Rumah Tok Alang Kg Baru, KL

Bapak often took us to visit rumah Tok Alang in Kg Baru, KL. I remember Bapak drove down the road and we passed by the stadium. Once we passed by the stadium, I knew Tok Alang;s house was nearby. We then passed by the playing field with an old white grandstand before reaching his house.  There were a few boys playing football on the dry field.

There were 2 houses in Tok Alang's compound. Nenek Jenab lived in the front house. I went in that house once ... to see some katil pengantin bedcover on a bed by the window. Tok Alang and family lived in the hind house that was on the ground. I remember the front entrance, side window, kitchen at rear and the exit door. I can't recall what was outside the exit door.

Tok Alang's house in Kg Baru, KL is extant. It is a little blue house behind Quill City Mall.

Photos by Aunty Siti Aishah Mohd Ali, anak Tok Ali Kedah & Nenek Endon.


The little blue house address was No. 10 Jalan Stoney, Kg Baru, KL. Tok Alang and family lived there in the 1960s-1970s when I was growing up. The road is now Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman.
