Al-Fatihah: Shamsiah Fakeh (1924-2008)

“I was merely a woman fighting the British for my country's independence and the emancipation of women.”(Shamsiah Fakeh: 1924-2008)

She was among the real fighters for Independence..
She was among the first woman nationalist..
She was the leader of Angkatan Wanita Sedar (AWAS) ..
"When she was dismayed whether to join Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Malaya (PKMM) or UMNO, she resorted to the former, conceding that UMNO was not more than a mere puppet of the British.For her, PKMM was more dedicated to the struggle for Malaya's independence". (Source:Wiki)
Being a left-wing political figure, she had incredible guts, injecting the spirits of the people during the pre-Independence period to free the nation from the stranglehold of the British colonials.
She was a legendary, a real freedom fighter.
A truly iron lady, cos' it's hard find those spirits among other women.
She's one in a million.
Today she had passed away, yet she earned a noble place in history.
She's a woman of my inspiration.
R.I.P.Al-Fatihah.

arwah pernah berkahwin dan ditinggalkan...bukan sekali..tapi banyak kali...

anak sulung arwah di lahirkan di dalam hutan ketika lari dari askar kerajaan...

arwah adalah penyokong UMNO yang taat sehingga menjadi penentang no 1 bagi parti melayu yang bangsat!

Untuk nenek Shamsiah Fakeh, hanya selafaz surah Al-Fatihah...

Semoga rohnya di tempatkan di kalangan para pejuang!

Amin

The classic beauty of feminism. The true warriors include heroines too.
