Why was no mention made that the late firebrand orator Khatijah Sidek was his wife?
ReplyDeleteThere is a section in each biography where I have kept for family matters. The grandparents, parents, siblings, marriages, children and downline are in the proposed book.
ReplyDeleteMost of the inputs are from the children, relatives and friends of the first wife.
Khatijah Sidek is included except I don't know of her children's whereabouts. I need a better portrait of her if anyone has it.
I never know the history of my Grandpa & Great Granpa. My Dad is the son of Dr Hamzah never told me about this history. I'm so amazed by when i discovered facts about him

As salam prof. Syazwani is my cousin. Her dad was Mohd Zaki. Deceased. Our uncle Alias is also deceased. I'm quirky suzie's triplet sis. Our dad's name was misspelled. It's Dato' Dr.Mat Saat Baki. I'm the only medical doctor from my mum. My other 2 sisters (triplets) are phd holders. Aunty gee (zooridah) had 4 kids, 3 are medical docs. Aunty zaweiyah (datin) has 3 kids, the youngest is a medical doctor as well.
DeleteAssalamualaikum prof. Indeed this is true information. Our uncle Hamzah is also deceased. My uncle (Pak Bidin) Mohd Zain had 3 children, 1 lawyer and 2 is phd holders
DeleteWa'alaikumussalam Faidah Yusof,
ReplyDeleteTQ for visiting this website and for your comments.
My books on The Early Malay Doctors are not about politics or nationalism. There is very little information on political involvement of the doctors, except just a mention. There is more about their contributions to nation building, especially in the field of public health.
Please provide your research title, name of your supervisor, whether you are doing MSc or PhD, and your USM address where you are conducting your research.
You can email me further or contact me on WhatsApp.
TQ
