A Passing


1941 - 2009


Senator Prof Datuk Dr Ismail Md Salleh, the first handicapped figure to be appointed to the Senate passed away at the Singapore General Hospital today. He who was 61, was on his way to China. May Allah bless his soul accorded to him a place among those blessed ones.

I have always been impressed by him, a figure in his own class surpassing even those who are physically better. He is believed to be the first handicapped person to be warded with a Doctorate, a feat I am trying to achieve, Insya Allah.
