Saying Goodbye

It is 6 am, and we are sitting in a mamak shop having an early breakfast. Actually more like supper as we have not slept yet. In fact, we came back from seeing Pak M.Rajoli... Paid our last respect to him and in a way saying goodby
I have never met him in person. But Ted had worked with him multiple times and had the highest respect for him. Yet again, I am attending a funeral of a great person that I only heard of in stories.


Ted's most fond memory of him was the time they spend making Man Laksa in Perak.


They spend almost a month filming there and Pak Rajoli has always been a good sport through out the shooting. With his religious background, it was quite refreshing to see him being comical and jovial all the time. He was even seen as a bit of a rebel as he owned a Harley, and always took a ride on it in full gear with leather jacket and glove. But despite all these worldly hobby, he never loose his religious roots. He was even seen reciting the Surah with some of the crew who wanted to learn them. Pak Rajoli epitomized the calling of Islam...to be in creation of love in this world, as well as the next. May Allah bless his soul and may he finds his true place with Him. Al Fatihah.
