Tribute to Husner Ahmad

KUALA LUMPUR, May 4, 2026: Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rojiun.

Jan 24, 2026 will always stay in my heart. It was the last time we met Husner.

We had lunch at Sate Samuri in Kajang; it felt like any other day. She loved satay and durians, and that afternoon, she quietly savoured both. Rasinah had brought the durians; Mafuzah was there with us too.

But Husner was unusually quiet. At that time, we didn’t think much of it. Only later did we realise… that was her way of saying goodbye.

Husner, 74, returned peacefully to her Creator in her sleep on a blessed Friday morning. We go back a long way — MassComm Class of 1977, UiTM Shah Alam. She was a broadcasting major and later served at RTM until her retirement.

Beautiful in her own way, with a fair complexion and a distinctive mole on her cheek, she reminded many of the late Saadiah, and had appeared in local dramas.

In our early career days after graduation, the three of us (Husner, Rasinah and I) shared a small rented place in Bangsar. Life wasn’t easy. We cooked simple meals: sardines, omelette, plain rice. Yet those were some of the happiest moments of our lives.

Time took us in different directions, but the bond never faded.

That last lunch… now feels so precious.

May Allah SWT grant you Jannah, dear Husner. You will always be remembered
