STEADY-AKU - 47 : SELAMAT JALAN KE TANAH ABADI . AL - FATIHAH.

Hussein Abdul Hamid  is a character, an agitator wearing a kind, yet wounded heart.

A blogger who boxed and punched about everything and anything political,  from his desk in Melbourne. 

Almarhum Hussein can be all over the place, spreading mouthfuls of wordy pellets, shotgunning in multiple directions. Some Kena, Most Tembak Kosong. A few Bullseyes, every so often.

I like to remember him as the archetype of a MCKK boy whose claim to fame was being a Floor Speaker during school debates. Thats Steady- aku. Never made the team, yet voluble and at times brilliantly so. 

Weirdly enough, he has been difficult to read of late, almost in consonance when his batchmate at boarding school rose to be Prime Minister of Malaysia. 

I like to put his gonzo-like  ramblings from January 2023 to just Age. Time can be, and usually is,  the Great Punisher.

Rest Well , mate. Good that you are back home. Cheers. Al Fatihah
