I received many queries as to why I make an extra effort to highlight the wrong photos of Ahmad Ibrahim being featured in the book "The Last Kampung Mosque in Singapore"?
I can understand their feelings as Ahmad Ibrahim is a stranger to them.
My reason is simple. Ahmad Ibrahim is my uncle and I simply cannot ignore if other people is claiming as my uncle.
Mr Ahmad Ibrahim, former Minister for Health and Labour
Mr Ahmad Ibrahim, former Minister for Health and Labour. Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim, Masjid Ahmad Ibrahim, Ahmad Ibrahim Primary School, Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School were named after him
About Me
- Kamal Abu Serah - seeking justice
- When I first look at the photos of Ahmad Ibrahim (ex-Minister) on page 54 of the book "The Last Kampung Mosque in Singapore - The Extraordinary Story and Legacy of Sembawang", I knew it was wrong. I wrote to the book writer to inform her of the mistake. The book writer, Dr Hadijah claimed that the photos are correct based on the verification from people like Hj Suppien and Kassim Selamat. I 'closed' the case and don't want to pursue the matter. Then, Ahmad Ibrahim's eldest son, Mr Mudzlan Bin Ahmad came and visited me. I showed him the photos and Mr Mudzlan claimed that the photos are NOT of his father. When I write again to Dr Hadijah, she insist the photos are correct. Since the book writer nor the book publisher don't want to acknowledge the mistake, I specially created this blog for the purpose of informing the public of the mistake found in the book "The Last Kampung Mosque in Singapore - The Extraordinary Story and Legacy of Sembawang".

Hello Mr Kamal,
If Ahmad Ibrahim is your uncle than you must be my cousin. Would love to hear from you. I am sure my sister and my mother would be too.
Regards,
Shakirah
