The book titled "The Last Kampung Mosque in Singapore, The Extraordinary Story and Legacy of Sembawang" was launched on 23 March 2008 at 2:30pm at The POD, National Library Board (Singapore), 16th floor, Victoria Street. The book was written by Dr Hadijah. The book is published by Masjid Petempatan Melayu Sembawang (Sembawang Mosque) in collaboration with BERITA HARIAN / SPH. It is a project by Sembawang Mosque, Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) and Ministry of Community, Youth and Sport, Singapore (MCYS). In the book shows several photos of Ahmad Ibrahim, Ex-Minister of Health and Labour of Singapore. Those photos of Ahmad Ibrahim contributed by a man named Mr Edward Harmer are NOT the photos of Ahmad Ibrahim. The photos contributed by Mr Edward Harmer are showing someone else who probably sharing the same name. Especially on page 54 of the book shows wrong photos of Ahmad Ibrahim. I had highlighted and feedback to the book editor of the mistake. I had validated and verified that the photos contributed by Edward Harmer are NOT Mr Ahmad Ibrahim (ex-Minister) from the following personnel:
1. Madam Che Teh Bte Yahaya, Ahmad Ibrahim's wife,
2. Mr Mudzlan Bin Ahmad, Ahmad Ibrahim's eldest son,
3. Mr Marzukhi Bin Ahmad, Ahmad Ibrahim's son,
4. Tuan Haji Othman Wok, ex-Minister and Ahmad Ibrahim's political colleague,
5. Tan Sri Datuk Dr Haji Yahaya Ibrahim, Ahmad Ibrahim's younger brother.
Dr Yahaya Ibrahim is a Pro-Chancellor of Sultan Idris University of Education in Malaysia.

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".
