Dr Nizamuddin Ahmad
I am searching for the whereabouts of this doctor's family. I am uncertain where to search for him, his family members or descendants. NUS Office of Alumni gave us a slightly different name spelling, Nizamudding Ahmad. The added letter g in the name points to possibly a Terengganu name origin or call name.
His name was forwarded to me by Mr Chung Chee Min, a former clerk at the Victoria Institution (VI) in Kuala Lumpur. He had obtained the name from a friend at NUS.
Dr Nizamuddin Ahmad graduated with LMS in March 1929. The graduation date itself tells us that this doctor was probably born in 1902, based on "next nearest date" which I have on my research records: Dr Che Lah bin Md Joonos, DOB 10 December 1903, KE VII Singapore LMS March 1930.
If he was born in 1902, given a Malay male's lifespan of approximately 83 years, he would be 83 in 1985. For comparison, Dr Che Lah died at age 83 in 1986.
So I am looking for a Malay male doctor named Dr Nizamuddin bin Ahmad who was born in 1902, was a graduate of the KE VII College of Medicine in Singapore with LMS in March 1929, and died in 1985. The birth and death dates are approximate and are derived based on another doctor's records. The actual dates may differ by +1-2 years or more.

Dr Abdul Ghani bin Mohammad (2)
At first, we were uncertain of the doctor's name. We had 2 names, but only one personality.
Dr Abdul Ghani
From Rukiah Hanoum Omar Farok (Facebook) 26 March 2011 & 23 May 2012
Rukiah alerted me to a man named Faisal Ghani whom I was informed is the son of Dr Abdul Ghani. At the time I didn't know that this was the Dr Abdul Ghani whom I was searching for; the NUS book had his name written as Abdul Ghani while newspapers reported him as Abdullah Ghani. I had doubts that I had the correct person. I wasn't sure which was the correct name of the doctor. Faisal was a classmate of Rukiah's cousin, Khalid Ariff.
I have tried to contact his son (Faisal) from a number forwarded to me via Facebook but I got no response. I have not managed to contact his family members or descendants at the time of this writing.
Update from Iszham Idris (Facebook), 23 January 2013
The correct name is Dr Haji Abdul Ghani bin Muhammad. Dr Haji Abdul Ghani was known as Tok Cak Tanjung.
His wife is Fatimah. Fatimah's sister is Siti Aminah, whose daughter is Hajjah Zaleha bt Che Long, Iszham's mother. [Dr Haji Abdul Ghani is the husband of Iszham's maternal grandaunt.]
His children are Azizah, Ghazali, Zaitun (Halimah), Abdul Jalil, Muhammad, Fadzilah, Yahya, and Faisal. The first 5 children died young and the last 3 survived to adulthood - Fadzilah, Yahya and Faisal. Fadzilah is a nurse residing in Australia. Yahya and Faisal are residing in Malaysia.
Faisal married and has a daughter.
Iszham's mother is still alive and she remembers Faisal, or his call name Pisol. We await news from both Iszham's mother as well as from Faisal, Dr Haji Abdul Ghani's youngest son.

Update 11 & 23 January 2013
I met Rukiah earlier this year (11 January 2013) at my late mother's house in Penang. She came to pick up my books for Datuk Zubaidah and herself, and for 2 other contributors - Mohd Aiyub Mohd Aziz and Khalid Ariff. I had mentioned "Omar Ariff" to Rukiah because I forgot the correct name (Khalid Ariff). I actually forgot about the piece of information about Faisal and his father, and therefore, I did not ask her about the father and son when I met her. I totally forgot this matter.
- The NUS book, To Sail Uncharted Seas (2005) had his name listed as Abdul Ghani on page 113 (under 1930).
- A Penang document, ''Well-known Personalities'', had his name as Dr Haji Abdullah Ghani bin Mohamad, which is incorrect:
- A few researchers alerted me to the uncommon name style, that there is no such name as Abdullah Ghani and that it should be Abdul Ghani.
Dr Haji Abdullah Ghani bin Mohamad
- Dr Haji Abdullah Ghani bin Mohamad (b.1906- ) was a Senior Health Officer (SHO) in Penang and Province Wellesley.
- He was together with Dr Che Lah at a Sultan Sulaiman Club meeting in 1932
- Link to Debate at Sultan Sulaiman Club
- He was 3 years younger than Dr Che Lah bin Md Joonos (b.1903-d.1986).
- He was a Committee member of the Penang Malay Association (PMA)
Dr Abdul Ghani
I had a classmate in 1969-1970 named Azizan bt Abdul Ghani and her younger sister was Naemah bt Abdul Ghani. We attended Zainab Primary School 2 in the afternoon at Telipot, Kota Bharu in Kelantan. Azizan was a school prefect while Naemah and I were athletes. Their father, Abdul Ghani, was a medical doctor. I don't have his full name. I am uncertain whether this particular Dr Abdul Ghani originated from Penang and whether he had 2 wives, a Penangite and a Kelantanese. Azizan and Naemah were fair, but they did not resemble each other much. Azizan had deep big round eyes and thick jet black short straight hair and rough body built while Naemah looked more like a Kelantan maiden, dainty and with blood vessels visible at the skin surface of her cheeks and with light wavy hair.

From me (8 Feb 2013, 4:08 pm): Please note that Faisal on the BOD at CTRM is a different person and not the son of Dr Haji Abdul Ghani. The correct Faisal Abdul Ghani retired from Utusan Malaysia (refer to comments by his daughter below).

501451 Flyer
I made a flyer for the main book, Biography of the Early Malay Doctors 1900-1957 Malaya and Singapore. I made it with a program named Easy Flyer Creator 3.0 which I obtained from Giveaway of the Day. The dimensions are 8.5 x 11 inches. It has bleed etc but I could not fit the text within the space allotted and I might have used the bleed space at the border. Resolution is 300 dpi.
