al-Fatihah for a reformist

I've only met Umar Tan once, and that was on the night of DSAI's release. I did not know much about him then, but I was told he was a remarkable man, a true a person of conviction. Reading through the obituaries, I can only express my increasing awe of the deeds that this humble hamba allah has performed in the struggle for Reformasi in Malaysia. He believed in the cause, and he stucked to it unwaveringly. May Allah have mercy on him and reward him with the eternal gardens of paradise.

innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un
we belong to god, and to him shall be our return

Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Allahuakbar walillahil hamd

Reformasi!
