“Especially with the Agong, former prime minister, ministers all, giving their tributes very, very touched. Never expected it. When I look at my dad, I just see him as a dad.

“Ever since then since he forced me to play golf, I’ve learnt to love the game, so every now and then, I will go and golf. The way we spent time is we go play golf together,” he said. “I was very grateful to him as a father because his style of parenting was very different from most people, I didn’t want to become a doctor, engineer or accountant. He was like ‘oh, please don’t’. Then I said I wanted to be a journalist my degree is actually in journalism, he begged me not to become a journalist,” he said, but added that his father had never once said ‘no’ to any of his career choices.

“His style of parenting made me quite resourceful. I quite enjoyed that,” he said, noting that this same attitude helped in his current work which involves business development where a lot of answers are not readily available. “But it feels almost like he is living a double life, it’s like he’s like Clark Kent at home, and Superman outside, such a big celebrity — I don’t think any of us knew,” she toldOn the sudden unexpected passing of her father, she said the family was alerted at around 5am or 6am and that they drove immediately to the hospital, but he was already dead by then.
