Note: Malik Al-Habshi (tulisan Jawi in Facebook) has the original Mohammedan Handbook, and the names above are mentioned in the book.

---

Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar is the FIL of Dr Abdul Karim bin Nawab Din, an early dentist. Dr Abdul Karim is the father of Prof Wazir Jahan, formerly of USM and then UM.

---

Syed Mondar Idid bin Syed Hassan Idid. The spelling for Mondar is probably Mohdar or Mohdzar?

---

We are uncertain of the identity of Haji Shamsudin Md Joonos. He could be the half-brother of Dr MJ Che Lah. We are still working into this matter and finding evidence if Md Joonos had indeed married 2 ladies.

Dr Kamil Md Ariff bin Kader Mustan (Mastan) was knighted in 1956.
