Last Thursday, Malaysia's First Lady, Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, passed away after bravely fighting breast cancer for the past two years. Extraordinary as the First Lady, she was even more extraordinary as a breast cancer patient, and as her husband's connection to the nation. She inspired many cancer patients and survivors to stand up and be proud of themselves, she single-handedly revived the ailing textile industry of batik, and made the world opened its eyes on the wonders of kebaya and songket. The heavens opened up and poured endlessly at the capital (PutraJaya) when she died. In my opinion, it was a sign that Heaven welcomed a dearly awaited member, and a sign for us who are alive that this woman was no ordinary being.
I will post more tomorrow.
