Family of the late Ziraj Rizal bin Abdullah
To the Honourable Yang Arif – Yang Arif, KLBC Representatives , Members of the
Bar, Aunty Sham , Miss Merdiana and members of the family of Late Mr.Riraj
I would like to express my sincere condolences on passing of our senior Member of the Bar and who is also my uncle late Mr.Ziraj Rizal Bin Abdullah from Rizal Many & Logan
The late Mr.Ziraj Rizal was the first son for late Mr.Palanisamy and Mrs Grace who born on 8.12.1949 and also the responsible brother for his nine siblings. He completed his secondary school at MBS Sentul and started his career as Hospital Assistant (HA) at Klinik Subang Jaya.
During his early career, he found a beautiful soul to be partner of his life, Aunty Sham and he was gifted with three beautiful daughters.
The late Mr.Ziraj Rizal was an inspiration to many lawyers where he proved that age and time does not matter to pursue law. During the period of pursuing his law degree, he was working as a Hospital Officer (HO) and he was married with three kids. His wife Madam Sham had supported him and being his pillar for his successful path of his journey. He was the pride of our family.
He was highly respected throughout this community, profession and family. He was the first one who graduated in law in our family. He was the inspiration to his daughter Ms. Merdiana, to myself and also to our youngest law graduate of the family, Mr Renessh Thanbala to succeed in this legal profession. It was my honour to assist him in few cases before he left us. His absence is very difficult for all of us to absorb.
Though he is not here with us anyone and though no one can fill the void his death has created in our lives, I wish the Almighty is always there to bless your family, to give his beloved family strength to recover from the deepest sorrow. Let us always keep him alive in our memories and celebrate it to keep him a part of lives forever. The late Mr.Ziraj will be always remembered as a great lawyer and a kind person.
To the other respectful family of the departed members of the bar who is here today, please accept our heartfelt condolence for the loss of your loved ones. Death brings about a sudden and painful parting but the one who left us is free from the pain and worries of this mortal existence. It is we who suffer and feel the loss. By the grace of Almighty, the parting souls will be reunited in the Gardens of Heaven.
Thank You
From,
