What a great response from the public considering it was a last minute push for JJ’s Remembrance Ride by means of social media through Facebook, twitter and instagram. Around 86 cyclists took part yesterday for the event and there was the recital of the Surah Yassin and tahlil to commemorate the ceremony at the Jame’ Asr’ Hassanal Bolkiah graveyard.

Attended the prayers were family members, colleagues and close friends of the late Captain Ismael Dato Seri Setia Hj Samid (JJ) and among the attendees was the Minister of Industry and Primary Resources, Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Utama Dato Seri Setia Hj Yahya, who also took part in the 77km ride.

The route was from Kiulap to Mabohai then to Mentiri then to Kota Batu then to Tungku Link Highway before turning off from The Empire Hotel before returning back to Jame Asr’. According to one of JJ’s best friends, Captain Moza Syaffiarizal Hj Mohammad, the route is tough.

According to Liyana Latif, wife of the late JJ, he would cycle the route almost every Sunday and if he has the time, he would do it two or three times a week. He would leave after Subuh prayers and come home after having a meal at Hayati’s. Liyana was touched to see those who cycled yesterday and she hopes to organise a bigger one next year given the chance. [Source: The Brunei Times]

Refreshments were provided by Hayati Restaurant prepared by Liyana and the restaurant owner, Colonel (U) Dato Paduka Hj Ibrahim Hj Mohamad. For your info, this restaurant is one of JJ’s favourite. For more updates, you can follow the news on the Facebook page.
