I wish to offer my sincerest condolences to the family of ALLAHyarham Datuk Razali Ismail, our deputy education minister. May ALLAH bless him with forgiveness and rahmah.
His appointment as deputy minister was seen by us in the ministry as a light at the end of a dusty and dark tunnel of education. his background as an educationist has made it possible for him to fully appreciate every nook and crannies of our education jungle. too many opportunistic politicians -who had not any inkling of what education is all about- had dipped their dirty hands into the future of our children. thus his appointment had at least rejuvenated our hope which had dimmed all these while.
Of course, his very short time in ministry might not make it possible for him to make a very strong impression on all of us. however, those who had had the chance to work with him said that he was a very hardworking man, and his experiences as an educationist had made it possible for him to really understand the game. Alas, man can only propose, but God disposes.
"Kullu nafsin zaa iqatul maut". May ALLAH bless him. semoga ALLAH menempat ALLAHyarham bersama orang-orang yang di beri petunjuk dan hidayah.
