BRUNEI DARUSSALAM IN HISTORY
Today, Her Royal Highness Paduka Seri Pg Anak Isteri Pg Anak Sarah binti Pg Salleh Ab Rahaman, the wife of His Royal Highness Prince Hj Al-Muhtadee Billah the Crown Prince, has safely given birth to a prince on Saturday, 27 Safar 1428 Hijrah corresponding to March 17, 2007, at 3.50pm. Congratulations..... :)
It is also coincides with my late father's birthday, Cikgu Awang Haji Ludin Bin Hashim.
He was born on 17th March 1920 at Kampong Lurong Dalam. His Father's name was Awang Hashim Bin Abdullah and his mother's name was Dayang Aminah. He was the third from the family of five. His eldest sister was my late Tua Bini, Dayang Hajah Halimah Binti Hashim. The second was my late Ngangah Laki, Penghulu Awang Haji Tengah Bin Hashim, my late father was the third one known as Iring Laki or Pairing. Then the fourth one is my Amit or Pamit, Awang Haji Abdullah Bin Hashim and last but not least, the youngest was my late Bungsu Laki, Awang Haji Bongsu Bin Hashim.

He lost his parents when he was about less than 10 years old and then he was adopted by his uncle, Awang Haji Abu Bakar Bin Majid of Kg Lurong Dalam too. My late father married to my mother, Dayang Hajah Kalsom Binti Ahmad of Kg Sumbiling Lama when he was 29 years old. They have 12 children, 7 boys and 5 girls........very productive huh....
He was a very loving and charismatic person. After retired from the government service as "Nadzir Sekolah", he ran a small business as a general contractor. At the same time, he was appointed as Ketua Kampong Pintu Malim for a long period till he passed away on 17th October 1988 @ 12.29pm at the age of 68 years old. He was diagnosed of having Chronic Renal Failure and Carcinoma of stomach, secondary from his Diabetes Mellitus.
I will always remember his word of wisdom...... "Jangan sekali-kali menyakiti hati orang lain, walaupun diri sendiri disakiti"........
I love u and I miss u so much pa............
Al-Fatihah......Semoga Roh bapa ditempatkan didalam golongan orang-orang yang beriman.
Amin......
