A Walk Down Memory Lane

Photo taken at Kuala Kubu Baru. Bapak/Ki was then the Deputy Asst. Disstrict Officer in KKB.

I was told by Che Engga (a family friend) that Ki & Tah hold a wedding reception for her at this very house. It was such an exquisite and grand reception.

One of Bapak/Ki's last photos...He liked this photo very much...

One of Bapak's/Ki's favourite event-annual 'durian' gathering! He'll be inviting relatives and friends to enjoy the 'hasil tuaian'...

Far right is Mutsuko Itohara. She is one of Bapak's/Ki's many 'anak angkat', who still keep in touch even after Bapak/Ki is no longer with us...

Farewell To A Remarkable Man

An excerpt from Ipoh Echo Issue 54 (July 16-31, 2008). It can be found at this link http://www.ipohecho.com.my/~ipohecho/pdf/54.pdf

Dato' Seri Yang Rashdi bin Maasom (1925-2008)

TRIBUTE

FAREWELL TO A REMARKABLE MAN

A moment to remeber someone we admired

Through his writings, peppered with colourful anecdotes and tasteful innuendoes, Dato' Seri Yang Rashdi gave the reader an insight into life as it is in the 30s and 40s.

His vivid recollections of time spent in growing up in idylic Kuala Kangsar were most poignant. Yang Rashdi latest story (Ipoh Echo Issue 53) about his maternal grandmother and her jinrikisha puller friend -Panjang and Pendek- made for truly insighful reading.

Sadly, we will be unable to read more about Yang Rashdi's youthful innocence.

Yang Rashdi passed away sadly on July 2, one day short of his 83rd birthday. He had been looking forward to seeing his latest work in print.

Dato' Seri yang Rashdi was a product of Malay College, Kuala Kangsar. He taught English at a secondary school in Kuala Terengganu in 1948 and was co-opted into the Malayan Civil Service in 1956.

He served in various capacity, starting out as assistant district officer. When he retired in 1980, he was Directors of Lands and Mines in Perak.

In 1994, the Sultan of Perak bestowed on Dato' Seri Yang Rashdi the title "Toh Maharaja Indera" and made him "Orang Besar 16" of Perak.

He left behind six grieving children and eight grandchildren.

We at Ipoh echo have lost a resourceful contributor whose singular objective was to impart his rich experiences to all and sundry. We share his family's sorrow.

May Allah bless his soul. Al-Fatihah.
