It was 6.39 in the morning (Oct 29) when I got a message from Anna, Salleh Ben Joned’s eldest daughter, now residing in Australia. Salleh had passed away. It took me quite a while to absorb the news.
The last time I met Salleh was in March last year. Anna was back in Malaysia, among other things, to do a special programme for the Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Salleh.
