This morning it was announced that the mother of one of the staffs had passed away yesterday and that the burial will be carried out before noon. The staff`s house is in Bukit Mahkota Bangi.
They gave me the house address and I thought I`d pay the familly my respect so off I went looking for the house, first in Bangi and I was somewhere near UKM.After I asked around I was told that Bukit Mahkota is near Nilai, I headed for the Highway.
After getting lost twice in the area, i found the house but everybody has left for the kubur. I asked a few persons in the housing estate and some claimed they didnt know and some showed me certain direction.
Off I went and got lost again. It was already 1215 pm. I have been on the road looking for the house and the kubur for 1 hour. I finally found a guard house and asked a security guard there and he showed me where to go. I followed his instruction and later I found myelf at a T junction. I took the left turn and went on for 2 km and decided to turn back. I went the other way and finally found myself at the bandar Baru Bangi near the UKM, exactly where I was earlier before I found out that Bukit Mahkota is in Nilai.
1245 pm and I decided that the since whole thing was over by then, I gave up. Had my makan in Bangi and after that headed back to the office.
My Problem? Well I didnt see one sign at all to direct me to the kubur. Come to think of it, this is a similar situation in all kubur that I have been to.
MEMO to me: write to all State Islamic Affairs Dept and tell them to ensure that all kubur have signs to lead visitors to them.
