Thank you for the thousand of wishes and condolences on the passing away of my x wife due to her kidney failure, diabetes and just hours before she passed away a mild brain stroke. She was hospitalised again due to her pneumonia attack and difficulty in breathing. On the day she passed away she was doing her blood diaysis when she had this stroke and difficulty in breathing. As her heart was weak she slowly start to ” Nazak”. It lasted for about 3 hrs, i was there, my son but my daughter was flying back from KT. I was feverish that day so i went back to my penthouse in Ampang to take my medicine, have a shower and intended to come back to the hospital. As soon as i took my shower i recieved the new that she had passed away from my son. By this time some of my sisters, sister in law and nieces was all there to say good bye to her. According to my son her breath just got weeker and finally it stopped. Alhamdulilah she does not have to suffer and endured more pain and had her both leg amputated. The stroke from her brain if she had recovered would have been too complicated for me to also look after her properly. God love her and she has suffered enough with diabetes. We laid her to rest by 9am yesterday at the Ukay Perdana cementry. From the hospital that evening segala mandi jenazah dan solat di urus while i make the arrangement to bring back her body to the Masjid Ampang. My siblings , nephew ,nieces, her sister and my kids was at the mosque all night to baca yassin, Alquran to menjaga jenazah sampai keesokan hari. Initially i wanted to take her body to my Cyberjaya home and laid her to rest in Cyberjaya sahaja. At the moment of panic i just dont know what to do. So i went to our Masjid Ampang of which over the years i have given cash donation to the mosque. Nasib ada Ahli jawatan kuasa masjid ketika itu dan iman yg kata… ” CW jangan susah kan ini.. Since she lived here and CW selalu bantu kami let us now help u to urus semua ini. Just get the forensic letter from the hospital and we will sent our kereta jenazah to collect her body mlm tu and just leave her to rest in the mosque with your family to look after and esoknya we arranged her funeral. Alhamdulilah

He opened the post by writing, “Thank you for the thousands of wishes and condolences on the passing of my ex-wife due to kidney failure, diabetes and just a few hours before that, she suffered a minor stroke on the brain. She was hospitalised for pneumonia and breathing difficulties.” 

He recalled, “In the last 3 hours when she was on the verge of death (nazak), my son and I were there. But my daughter was on board from Kuala Terengganu. I was feeling feverish that day so I went back to my penthouse in Ampang to take my medicine. I took my shower and planned to come back to the hospital.” 

The 62-year-old continued, “I received the news about her death from my son. By this time some of my sisters, sister-in-law and nieces were all there to bid their farewells. According to my son, her breath just got weaker and it eventually stopped.”

Chef Wan further added that the late Norhayati was laid to rest at the Ukay Perdana cemetery. Prior to that, all of the family members gathered at the Ampang mosque. “My siblings, nephew, nieces, her sister and my kids were at the mosque all night for the Yassin recitation and to keep her body until the next morning for the burial.” 

Initially, he wanted the late Norhayati’s body to be cremated near his home in Cyberjaya. He even had a panic episode before rushing to the mosque in Ampang. “Luckily there’s a few committee members at that time. The imam also told me to not to worry. He advised me to get the forensic letter from the hospital and they’ll provide us with a transport to bring her to the mosque,” shared Chef Wan.

Thankfully, all of the matters regarding Norhayati’s funeral were eventually settled.
