Malaysia First Lady lost her battle against cancer
The news about the passing on of the Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi's wife, Datin Seri Endon Mahmood early this morning hit me like a sack of potatoes. It was so sudden. I thought that she would be able to fight it.
News about her receiving Abraxene treatment in Los Angeles has been on the papers for some time, and she has been a cancer awareness advocate herself. Never did I thought that the statement by doctors saying she is recovering albeit slowly and advised PM or fondly known as Pak Lah to spend more time with her, could be a clue that something might not be so right.
During the period she was back from overseas chemotheraphy treatment to celebrate Ramadhan at home, Pak Lah has been missing for about a week and when he was asked about it, he said he has been breaking fast with her, who is also fondly known as Kak Endon.
Her passing on will be a great loss to Pak Lah and the whole nation. As the whole country grieves and mourns the death of a warm, loving, motherly, caring figure in the eyes of the citizens, her contributions and memories of her will remain alive in our memories.
As I watched the tv footage of her funeral and burial ceremony, I saw so many people lining up to pay their last respect. A politician even died on his way to Putrajaya to pay his last respect when his car skidded. When I did a google blog search, I was touched by the hundreds of blog entries paying tribute to her. TV3 aired a special programme after the news bulletin while there's a special pictures tribute on the News Straits Times website.
Even though I do not really know her personally, I can feel the love exuding from her, especially in her relationship with her husband. If you observe closely any television footages of them together, Pak Lah will always be holding her hand, just like love birds who are deeply in love.
One of a close friend of hers said this on one of the most widely watched television station TV3 that she is a model of a perfect wife and mother, someone she would model after when it comes to relationships.
I would agree with her. As Pak Lah loves her very much and been loyal to her, she has been strong and supportive of her husband. Behind every successful man, there's a woman. How true is this saying.
Lessons we can draw from this is that, we too can be a role model in our own lives. We can also touch lives as what Kak Endon has done. What we need, is just a loving heart and a caring nature. And I believe, everyone has that in them by nature.
As for couples, we can model after the strong devotion that Pak Lah and Kak Endon has for each other. Tips I gathered from news are that they tell each other they love each other very often and would unabashedly show affection publicly, like holding hands and hugging each other. Considering that they are a public figure, their public display of affection not only warms the heart of people seeing it; it must have also meant true love.
I find it truly inspiring and heart-warming.
