Shocked this morning to hear of the passing away of a great Malaysian patriot, Rustam A. Sani, 63, academician, scholar and political activist suddenly at about 2.30am at his home in Gombak.
Deepest condolences to his wife, Rohani, his children Azrani and Ariani and grandaughter, Arissa.
Together with Fong Kui Lun, DAP National Treasurer and MP for Bukit Bintang, I paid my last respects to Rustam at his Gombak home.
Rustam is one of the great Malaysian sons and daughters who have made incomparable contributions to Malaysian nation-building but who have not been given proper national recognition and yet who continued to give his best for the betterment of the country through his writings and ideas till his last breath.
Rustam’s passing is an irreparable loss to Malaysia.
Rest In Peace
one great Malaysian , one great blogger. May Allah SWT have a place for you in heaven.
YB LIM.
thank you for being there with the family. we may be chinese, indians , malays or any other race, BUT OUR BLOOD IS STILL RED IN COLOUR.
and in death. the ALMIGHTY decided.
Qada dan Qadar.
thanks again YB LIM.
The current leader Pak Lah & Najib will only pay respect to Mat Deros who squandered the poor building a huge castle for himself and family. Their nose are so high, that they were blinded by their ignorance.

Deepest condolences to his family, by the way his father was the great Ahmad Boestaman, another ISA victim in the 60’s!
A great Malaysian patriot indeed proven through & through. A great loss to Malaysia. R.I.P.
Deepest condolances to his family.
ISA was intended for terrorists. But most of the detainees are Great Sons of Malaysia. Or perhaps if we one to be great, we must first pass the test of ISA?
Malaysians should work hard to get rid of ISA.
I wonder whether all Malaysian PM, past & present, actually study Chinese history. Chinese Emperors are famous for beheading patriotics & great chinese for fear of losing theirs thrones. In Malaysia, we have ISA……….
“We will all miss Rustam A. Sani; he touched so many of our lives”
Al Fatihah buat Sdra Rustam
Tahziah buat keluarga Sdra Rustam

I just wish to add that when I was a Malaysian student at Yale College, I met Rustam and his family in New Haven while he was doing a post-graduate program in Sociology at Yale University. He was always welcoming. I had delicious Malaysian food cooked by his wife and learned how to smoke a pipe from him. Rustam, rest in peace.
Rip Sdr Rustam! We will always remember all your contribution to the country! Rip…
