  • Pledge Your Support For The Family Of The Late Muhammad Hambali Sumathi

    Pledge Your Support For The Family Of The Late Muhammad Hambali Sumathi

    On Monday (24th April 2017) morning, Almarhum Muhammad Hambali Sumathi, 12, returned to Allah after a goalpost accident.

    Hambali had reached for the crossbar of the goalpost to do a pull-up when he fell backwards. The structure tipped over and struck his head.

    He was conveyed unconscious with head injuries to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, where he later passed on.

    Hambali’s mother has been inconsolable since and even his father chokes when speaking about him. Over 200 people, including his schoolmates, came to pay their last respects, many of them seen sobbing.

    May God protect and preserve the family of Muhammad Hambali Bin Sumathi & increase them in faith and patience. Ameen.

    Support the family of Almarhum Hambali

    We cannot imagine the grief of losing a child in such an unexpected manner. It started out as any normal morning for the family but while we returned to our families at the end of our working/schooling days, they returned home with one member of the family no longer amongst them.

    During these trying times, let’s support the family beyond our prayers. If we can help to raise some funds, it would be a small part in alleviating the grief and concerns of the family at this difficult period of their lives.

    No amount of donations or prayers can bring him back but it’s a small way that the community can let the family know that Almarhum was deeply loved and that we grieve with them.

  • Student Who Passed Away After Freak Goalpost Accident Was Brother Of Singer Sarah Aqilah

    Student Who Passed Away After Freak Goalpost Accident Was Brother Of Singer Sarah Aqilah

    The 12-year-old Geylang Methodist Secondary School student who died after a goal post fell on him on Monday (Apr 24) was the younger brother of local singer Sarah Aqilah.

    Sarah, who was crowned the winner of Mediacorp’s Suria reality singing competition Anugerah in 2009, told Channel NewsAsia that death of her brother, Muhammad Hambali Sumathi is a great loss to her and her family.

    “He was a good kid, quiet but smiley and he was very respectful towards his elders. He was helpful too, as a friend and a younger brother,” Sarah told Channel NewsAsia on Monday night.

    Sarah added that Hambali loved sports and that he played for his school football team.

    The mother of two also spoke of how Hambali enjoyed the company of her children.

    “He was also good with kids, especially my children – his nephew and niece. My kids loved playing with him. He never complained about anything,” she added.

    On Instagram, Sarah posted a photo of Hambali on a recent family outing at Universal Studios Singapore. She wrote: “We were supposed to go again in June … but now, it is only memories (we have) left of you.”

    In a separate Facebook post to family members and friends wanting to pay their last respects, Sarah wrote that Hambali’s body would be brought back from hospital on Tuesday.

    Hambali is the second sibling Sarah has lost. Her younger sister, Ms Shaffadina Jamil, died in 2009 at the age of 20, after contracting a virus following a trip to Kusu Island.

    According to local media reports, Sarah has let her singing career take a back seat to focus on caring for her family.
