the passing of a friend, a colleague.

Bakri passed away this morning. With two friends I visited him on Tuesday (today is Thursday) and we sam him in pain. According to his wife Kamariah who was also a colleague, Bakri who has been known to be suffering from Gout, was diagnosed with malignant cancer on the 5th of January. 

He had been going to the doctors for gout treatment until in January Kamariah noticed he began to show signs of weaknesses in the use of his right arm until that 5th morning he was unable even to put in food into his mouth. He had to bring his mouth close to the plate in order for the hand to put food in his mouth. They suspected he was having a stroke. After checking up with his usual doctor he was declared clear. Then it was suggested that he should have a ct scan by a neurologist and the ct scan shows that his cancer has spread to his brain, lungs liver and spleen. And last Saturday the doctors told the family to take him home. He requested to be taken to his son's house at Bukit Jelutong.

He was a very bubly kind of a guy when he was alive. Never failed to say hello whenever we met and never missed to honk his car whenever we passed ech other on the road. An ardent golfer he had many close friends. 

Thats how life is. When your time comes it just happened. May ALLAH BLESS you, Bakri.
