Al-Fatihah for 'Kak' Nawal …..

A light drizzle fell from the sky as the remains of ‘Kak‘ Nawal Ismail was laid to rest at the Taman Ibu Kota Muslim burial ground after the Friday prayers.
The former Bernama journalist died at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital at 3.10am.
Bernama quoted her daughter, Farah Naz Abdul Karim, 32, as saying that Nawal died of septicaemic shock with multi-organ failure. She was 56.
Apart from Farah, she had four other children from her marriage to Abdul Karim Shukor who retired as Bernama chief news editor in 1995.
They married in 1972, a year after Nawal joined Bernama as a cadet reporter. The marriage lasted 20 years.
Nawal left the organization after four years to join a public relations company. She was also involved in publishing magazines and writing drama scripts.


Besides Farah, another daughter Yasmin is also a journalist with The Star, says ‘Abang’ Karim.
Al-Fatihah ...
