Al Fatihah...we have lost one of the pioneer in our architectural communities in Malaysia...for me Dato' was a "father figure" and his article for the PAM GOLD MEDAL award presentation (back in Dec 1992)was like a boost up for motivation to start my journey in architecture as a student...the article was published in Majalah Arkitek Mar/Apr '93 Vol.5 No.2..seomga allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas arwah Dato'..amin..
