About Me

My photo
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".

The Book with mistaken identity of Ahmad Ibrahim

My email to Edward Harmer (photo contributor)

Dear Mr Edward Harmer,

You may well aware that a book titled " The Last Kampung Mosque in Singapore" was recently launched. You had contributed many stories and photos related to your stay in Sembawang during the 50's, 60's and 70's. I thank you for your many contributions. However, a friend of yours by the name of Ahmad Ibrahim is not the Ex-Minister of Health and Labour of Singapore. You may refer to the link below.

In the book, you mentioned you were surprised to know your friend Ahmad Ibrahim had been appointed as Minister.
Mr Eddie Harmer, I am afraid you will be in another surprise that your friend by the name of Ahmad Ibrahim has NOT been appointed as Minister. The real (ex-Minister) Ahmad Ibrahim's 2 sons and younger brother had scrutinised your contribution photos and they confirmed that the photos of yours are NOT ex-Minister Ahmad Ibrahim.

Yours Sincerely,
Kamal Bin Abu Serah
