IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY

With Steven Spielberg in London

On my birthday today, I'm indeed grateful to God , Allah S.W.T for given me all the great things in life:

• Now, a healthy retired Director General.
  
• Have two smart sons, an intellectual son in law, two beautiful daughters and a cute, wonderful granddaughter.
• Given the opportunities to travel around the world.
• A happy and successful family. I thanks my beloved wife, Datin Norayini who has generously contributed her time, energy and resources to make this family what it is today.

With more available time now, I hope I'll continue to render my services to the local community, to the nation and to the world. And more golf, of course.

I'm looking forward to a brighter and more productive future ahead. May Allah continues to grant us health, wealth, wisdom and success. Amin.

Papa,

Every year your birthday reminds me how grateful I am that you are my father.
With all that’s going on in the world today, I’m thankful I get to watch you
to look up to you, being an example of a good man.

What a privilege it is to observe your strength, your competence and your kindness.I am so blessed to be under your wing, your protection, your care,
learning important life lessons from you

Happy Birthday Papa!

From Izad (Boy),

Moga Allah panjangkan umur, murahkan rezeki, agar sihat sentiasa. Happy 59th Birthday.


Papa, I am astounded, and amazed, always, on how far you've been. From a mere son of a rubber tapper to ruling a government body (regarding rubber! irony) and to where u are now, you have always been my look-up to. I dont think I am half the man you are. From Kampung bakar batu Johor to Univ California & then Manchester Uni, You've leaped over mountains, swam over seas. You saw things that others dont. You make a name of yourself. Kagum.

Happy birthday papa. I know you visit this blog a lot (tapi tak komen). so here's to a long prosperous HEALTHY life ahead papa. Here! Here!

It is an honour to be your son, always.
Mohd Izad Iskandar bin ABD RAHMAN.
