Home of Razali Ali, one time Chief Minister of Selangor and brother-in-law to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
Razali Ali is Syed Azman's immediate neighbour. An equally lavish and expensive house which is beyond the means of a retired Chief Minister.

Wow! It's Thursday already
Time ready flies this week because they were many challenges (not to use any negative words)... the Positive Pay, the Negative List (which I mentioned to Anuar today it's the Ying and Yan of implementation).
Wednesday, met up at Bangi with Mathew on the iTran issue. Sad to have the whole project on hold due to the latest development mentioned by BNM. Calls started to come in to cover back the impending lost of the iTran purchase. Hitts wants to offer their solution, Joke Hin of NCR Singapore calling to mention that they have a solution too... wow, wish they could fly me down to Singapore to have a sneak preview of their solution... FAT HOPES man.
The BCM issue is finally off the chest, the paper was presented and ready for delivery to BNM just before the deadline. Too many cooks spoil the soup... well they are not cooks anyway.. just providing their view since they are the BIG shots of the Bank.
For those for reading this ... I don;t think you know what I am writing about. Never mind, today's writing are just for my own consumption and for those who have been working close to me!! When I can ready back this mesage I would know that this week was a WOW week.

Final respect of Mr Chan Soon Yan Yan at Nirvana Memorial Hall
A moderate gathering of colleagues were at the Nirvana Memorial Hall to pay the last respect to Mr Chan Soon Yan.
When I reached the hall I managed to meet up with Pauline Foo, she looked very sad and from her swollen eyes I can see that she had shed much tears of sorrow. I approached and shake her hand offering my condolences.
We were not able to offer any jostick as the family was under the NSM belief. I signed the condolence book and offered my "pak kam". I was able to go to the coffin which was placed at the back of the alter. The body of Chan Soon Yan looks pale. He was bald which was from his chemo therapy.
I sat at the side of the hall, all by myself reminiscing the first time I met him at Kepong branch where he was the Assistant Branch Manager. I recalled how I was impressed by his good PR and his ability to speak all different Chinese dialets. The thought has made my heart heavy. The rememberence of him will always stay in my heart.
So long Mr Chan Soon Yan.

The demise of Chan Soon Yan
Got a call from Ong Ming Teck on Sunday, he mentioned that he received news that Pauline Foo's husband Chan Soon Yan has passed away on Saturday. He was asking me for directions to go to their residence to pay his last respect.
This morning I meet up with him, he said that he could not locate the house, most probably, the funeral will be held at a funeral parlour.
Mr Chan Soon Yan's demise was printed in the obituary in The Star today. He was 56 years old and passed away peacefully on Saturday 23 July 2005 leaving behind his wife, Pauline Foo, and three sons Benjamin, Irwin and Andrew to mourn his loss.
The last time I seen him was at Mr Leng Jun Seng's Chinese New Year gathering. He was wearing a cap due to loss of hair from his chemo therapy. I was informed that he was suffering from lung cancer. I knew that he was a chain smoker from the first time we meet when he was the Assistant Branch Manager in Kepong branch where I reported to work on 1 February 1981. Since then he has move around until his resignation in 2003 or near that.
I will be paying my last respect from him at the Nirwana Memorial Centre today (25 July 2005) during lunch time.

Breakfast on Sunday 24 July 2005
Wake up as usual... Love to see that my son Darren has pop into my room.
"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked
"Nasi lemak!" he said
"What nasi lemak? Wanna to have roti canai?" I said
"Yes. yes" as roti canai is one of his favourite food
"Well get dress and we will go over to the shop to buy it"
When I finish brushing my teeth, he has happily sitting on my bed ....waiting for me to take him out.
At the shop, we bought 12 pieces of roti canai plus 2 packets of "teh tarik".
"We have to be back by 9.00 a.m. to watch Hot Wheels Pursuit" he said
"Don't worry, we can make it back on time" I said
Finishing breakfast, I am off to my computer to log into the blog to log in this happening.
