Mak Lang at Amin's SP wedding (first on the right)
Arwah Mak Lang passed away on Sunday, six a.m. at Taiping Hospital. She was survived by her husband Alang and her thirteen kids. She'd suffered a stroke on Tuesday, in the morning, as Mak and Ayah were alighting from their van at Alang's compund in Jelai. Mak was in time to take control of the situation, but by then, Mak Lang had lost use of her right side, and she couldn't speak, either. Mak said that Mak Lang eyes weren't seeing, even thogh she was conscious. She was due to go for her Haj this year, with Pak Lang, Paksu and Maksu. Now, it's one person less. She got there first...
Mak Lang, to me, was the perfect kampung melayu mum. She did everything, complained nothing, and tirelessly kept up with everything. She offered no excuses. And she had kids. Lots of them. last count was thirteen. I could only relate to 5-6 of the elder ones. The younger ones, I have lost them due to my 17-odd years (total) of US residency.
There was another passing on Monday, 9/11. Zakaria's eldest sister, who resided in Alor Star alongside the mother's new house, passed away due to complications from liver failure. We were notified by Idah that same monday morning I talked to mak about Mak Lang. Moga-moga Allah s.w.t. limpahkan Rahmat Nya ke atas Mak Lang and Kak Ani.
