Descendants of Mohd Hussain Khayyat

Before you continue to read, please be informed that girls of Arabic descent have Siti in their names when they are unmarried. However, when these girls get married, their Siti names are automatically changed to Umi names. Thus, Siti A becomes Umi A. Similarly, they are called Siti before marriage, and Umi after marriage. That is Arab name and tradition.

From Siti Salamah bt Sheikh Mohammed, Sharifah Alwiah bt Syed Sahil and Sharifah Mariam bt Syed Alwi:

Mohd Hussain Khayyat had 2 daughters, Siti Noor and Siti Rogayah.

Siti Rogayah bt Mohd Hussain Khayyat married to Wan Teh. They have 2 children, Siti Kalsom and Mohd Salleh.

Descendants of Pahmah & Ami Aziz Alyamani

From Siti Salamah, Sharifah Alwiah Syed Sahil and Sharifah Mariam bt Syed Alwi (7 Nov 2011)

The link between the Malacca Arabs and the Penang Arabs is via Ami Aziz Alyamani. Ami Aziz Alyamani was the younger brother of Pahmah. Ami Aziz Alyamani was a man of small stature in old age. However, Tok Kalthom (Batu Uban) said Ami Aziz Alyamani had a big build. 

There were 2 men named Aziz in Jelutong, Penang. Ami Aziz Alyamani was of small build. The other man, Aziz Ibrahim, was a man of big frame. He was a politician. His biodata is in the Penang Free School magazine.

I'm referring to Ami Aziz Alyamani, the man of small stature, who had once owned the European car business in Jalan Anson, Penang, and who married two wives - 1. Siti Rahmah bt Abdul Rashid Makawi and 2. Aishah bt Abdullah (Nek Jepun).

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

From Bapak

Bapak never mentioned the full name of Pahmah and Ami Aziz Alyamani or their father. I therefore asked Shaik Abdul Aziz Al-Khaiyath - the son of Tok Kalthom in Kg Batu Uban, Penang.

Bapak had told me that Pahmah (Siti Fatimah bt Sheikh Mohamad bin Salem Alyamani) was fair like a Chinese (putih macam Cina). Pahmah could be a Nyonya. Pahmah's younger brother was Abdul Aziz bin Sheikh Mohamad (Ami Aziz Al-Yamani).

From me

Tok Moyang Haji Mohd Sharif bin Ismail married Nenek Moyang Pahmah @ Siti Fatimah bt Sheikh Mohamad bin Salem Alyamani, and they had 5 children, a son and 4 daughters.

1. Mohd Yusope @ Walid (Bapak's father) - Mohd Yusope was my paternal grandfather
2. Amnah - married to Haji Ahmad bin Haji Abdul Latiff (HABHAL) in Singapore (pengusaha kicap HABHAL selepas perang)
3. Mahani @ Nek Ani - guru Quran (never married)
4. Asiah @ Nek Ya - married Haji Ibrahim, a mamak businessman in Tampin. She also taught Quran with Nek Ani.
5. Alijah @ Nek Jah  - never married

Tok Moyang Haji Mohd Sharif bin Ismail died early (at age around 38). His wife also died with him.

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

From Abang Sharif (25 April 2012) 

When Tok Moyang Hj Mohd Sharif died, Tok Moyang Zainal took Tok Yusope and Nek Jah (actual name is Khalijah/Halijah) under his arm whilst Tok Moyang Nordin took care of Mahani, Amnah & Asiah.

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

From me (28 April 2012)

When Tok Moyang Haji Mohd Sharif died, his 2 younger brothers took care of his children. Tok Moyang Zainal Abidin (the youngest of 3 brothers) cared for Tok Yusope (Walid) and Nenek Alijah (Nek Jah) while Tok Moyang Haji Nordin (middle brother) cared for the 3 older girls - Nenek Amnah, Nenek Mahani (Nek Ani) and Nenek Asiah (Nek Ya).

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎)

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

From me

Abdul Aziz bin Sheikh Mohamad (Ami Aziz Al-Yamani) married and lived in Penang, in a small Malay wooden house by the sea at Jelutong Beach.

However, there was another place I met Ami Aziz Alyamani, during Hari Raya Aidilfitri - at an endmost white shophouse where Nek Jepun lived. It was a shophouse by a big tree, before he lived at the yellow house at Hutton Lane. 

Did Ami Aziz marry 2 ladies? Yes, he married Nek Jepun later, but did not have any children with her. She had previously married a policeman. They adopted a Chinese girl as their daughter (Mazlifah Aziz). Both Nek Jepun and her adopted daughter often returned to Tokyo, Japan.

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

From Tok Chu in Air Itam, Penang (27 May 2012)

The British gave Ami Aziz Alyamani a European car business and also a house. This house is a big yellow double-storey bungalow behind Masjid Jalan Hutton (there is a small road at the side of the mosque that leads to his house). The road was formerly Hutton Lane.

Tok Chu is Mohd Nor Merican, the father of Datuk Prof Dr Ahmad Murad Merican.

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

From me

Ami Aziz Alyamani's brick house was a bright yellow building. The lane is very narrow. There was a car parked in the shed adjacent to the big house. Masjid Jalan Hutton blocks the streetview of his house.

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎)

From The Early Malay Doctors 

- Biography of Dr SM Baboo

Both Mr Abdul Aziz Ibrahim and Dr SM Baboo were involved in politics in Penang.

The Singapore Free Press on 5 December 1952 reported that Dr SM Baboo (UMNO-Muslim) and Mr Aziz Ibrahim (Radical) were defeated in 1951. Dr Baboo was a private medical practitioner who represented Kelawei Ward. Mr Aziz Ibrahim was a publisher and represented Jelutong.[1]

Mr Aziz Ibrahim's wife was also in politics but she also lost in the 1951 elections.
