AND I STILL REMEMBER...

introducing Mr Aleyasak and his wife, Puan Maryam and their two kids....i still remember bugging the hospital clerk the nite after BERSIH rally just to find a Malay guy's name who got admitted to the E.R through a log book containing tonnes of people's names...suddenly i saw his name "ALEYASAK"..my heart said that he was the one that we were looking for...

i still remember seeing him and his wife for the first time...the wife broke down in front of me in tears....she first thought that Johnson and I were among the unknown individuals who did nothing but harassing people in distress...i still remember talking for hours just to console them...i still remember how motivated she was after we had a long talk...and i still remember how devastated she was right after i left...i still remember talking to her thru the phone just to make sure that she was ok..and i still remember texting her when i was in my office, just to make sure that she was doing just fine...

i still remember telling her that she was not alone in this fight..i still remember telling her that every one is always there for her and her family...i still remember telling her to be strong and keep on fighting this battle because it's not over, it has just started...

and last nite when far, raina and i visited the family, Puan Maryam was so motivated and all pumped up...she looked extremely happy and the whole room was filled with laughter....she was so overwhelmed to realize that she has everyone behind her, to help her through this...and i'm more than happy to see this:) and i still remeber telling her "PERJUANGAN MASIH PANJANG..KITA HARUS TABAH..."
