An unyielding passion for community service The Bangsar township.-Bernama
JUST slightly more than a month ago, my neighbor and friend, Mohammed Rashid Abdul Ajij, enquired about my age. And when I told him my age, he spontaneously replied that he was much younger than me.
I jokingly told Rashid in that case he will have to see me off first, before he retires from this world. He just smiled at my response.
So, it was with a sense of profound shock and sadness that while relaxing on the morning of 6 December, I was informed that Rashid has passed on after succumbing a massive cardiac arrest while he was at his hometown in Taiping. Rashid was only 56.
