Dear Mr Daoud,

Assalamoualaikoum

Here everything is fine by the grace of Allah….

Hope that the month of Ramadan is running smoothly for  you….

I would like to thank you for the time, energy and money you spent with us, your students in Penang. Tasleemah Bulladin and Archad Toofany made good use of the pocket money you gave them specially as Archad had lost his purse in his friend’s car.

All five of us thoroughly enjoyed the dinner you offered us during the three nights you were here at Kayu Nasi Khandar, Pelita Nasi Khandar and at Seagate. The dinners were delicious.

In Kuala Lumpur also, you gathered all  UPM, USM and UiTM students  over dinners with you, [ not forgetting the fact that you bought our tickets from Penang to KL] The time we all spent in KL together is memorable.

We greatly appreciated your idea of dining together as it warmed us a lot…it was like being amongst family members with you as the father figure. We shared so many jokes and small stories, it was so fascinating to hear about your travels, your experiences about other cultures and  your interactions with other people. Thank you for sharing all this with us.

I remember how fun it was to be picked up by Rosli (your sympathetic driver in Penang) and how we all went for “makan”.  It was like “V.I. P” treatment.

You never considered us as mere students but as your own children, we are grateful to you.

The trip to Sungai Petani in  Kedha, to the Medical Institute there to meet Prof. Harcharan, showed us how devoted you are to the welfare of your students and to your society.

I wish you luck and success in all your attempts to promote us students.

Sincerely

Arzinah Rummun.
