The above two photos show the correct pictures of Ahmad Ibrahim, ex-Minister for Health and Labour.
The above two photos, I snapped from an album picture which belongs to the family of Ahmad Ibrahim in Penang using my camera. The picture on the right shows some bright spot (shining) due to the flash from my camera which reflected from the album photo. (SPH may have the above right photo but without the bright shining portion).
In fact, these two photos I contributed to the book editorial team to be published in the book. Yes, they did published it but with 'courtesy of SPH'. SPH got the credit for the photos. Not only that, I contributed Ahmad Ibrahim's grave with my son in the picture. That picture with my son in it also with 'courtesy of SPH'. Another photo I contributed (Bidadari grave), also SPH got credited.
Lesson learnt, never easily give out your contributions to the book editorial team. Higher chances others will get the credit.
I did feedback about this SPH is getting the credit (courtesy of SPH) and Mr Mohd Raman Daud from Berita Harian (SPH) replied to me as follows:
"Maaf saya tidak menyemak buku itu sewaktu pembikinan, sekadar buat rencana saja. Begitu juga Encik Guntor, editor saya terlibat sebagai penyokong penggunaan gambar gambar SPH. Saya sesal kesilapan ini berlaku, jika menurut penilaian sdr. Namun jika buku ini tidak dapat dicetak semula kerana kos tinggi, saya syorkan, ia dimuatkan di internet dan diperbetul mana yang salah."
("I am sorry for not checking during the process of making the book. I just write a feature for the book. Same goes to Mr Guntor, my editor who is involved in supporting the use of SPH's photos. I regret this had happen if according to what you had said. However, if this book is not going to be reprint due to high cost, I suggest it is to be published in the internet and make correction to the error.")
