No Holds Barred

Good-bye Auntie

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

I just received a phone call from my daughter a few minutes ago. She told me that my Auntie, Tengku Eusnie Binti Tengku Mohd Yusof, has just died. It seems she died in Singapore and will be laid to rest in the Royal Mausoleum in Shah Alam after lunch (Zohor) today.

Auntie Eusnie was the wife of Raja Dato’ Arshad Bin Raja Sir Tun Uda Al Haj, my late father’s younger brother. Arshad, fondly known in the family as Uncle Payung, was Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s classmate in the Malay College Kuala Kangsar back in the 1960s.

Eusnie was my favourite Auntie. Undeniably, she was the most glamorous member of our family and an extremely charming lady, true to her status as a daughter of the Negeri Sembilan Royal Family. If ever there was a Malaysian equivalent of the legendary Lady Diana that would, without a doubt, be my Auntie Eusnie.

Words can never describe my sorrow at not being able to send you off today, Auntie Eusnie. I can’t do more than just shamelessly shed my tears at your departure. I cry for you, Auntie Eusnie. I will miss you terribly. It pains me that I can’t personally say good-bye to you other than through this article.

I know you worried about me and you always feared that I would die in incarceration without we ever being able to meet again. Fate has dealt a most cruel blow indeed by separating us without giving us a chance to meet one last time. And it is you who left me when your heart was troubled with the thought that it would be I who would leave you.

Good-bye Auntie. I love you and will always love you till the end of time. May God have mercy on your soul.

Al-fatihah.

Dear Pete,

So sorry for your loss. If she was anything like you, she must have been a great lady.

I hope you realise that you have become a household name in Malaysia, and that you have many more aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters now! We love you very much, and our thoughts and prayers are with you right now.

Dear RPK,
My deepest condolences to you and Marina.

May these words received when a dearly beloved departed some 12 years ago give you a small measure of comfort:

" One is not gone...
who touched the lives of others
in such a warm and caring way.
One is not lost...
who shared the gift
of freely-given friendships.
One is not forgotten...
who found the way to others' hearts
and mapped a route to love."

God sees it all. God bless her soul.

My heartfelt condolences. It was Allah's will that her term in the flesh be ended and that she return to Him. In that, she is blessed.

That she will be well remembered is her greatest achievement. All the rest is trivial.

RPK

Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel for you and your uncle. I have often asked this question: Why does God take the good so soon? I am only comforted in this thought that "He wants to bring home the souls of the good early so that they are spared the sins and temptations of this world". Your Auntie is a beautiful woman and I am sure with a heart to match. May she watch over you and be your guardian angel now.

My deepest condolences. Al Fatihah.
