At the launch of the Rahmah Sports Initiative at AEON BiG in Klang on Tuesday (Aug 1), Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh paid tribute to her dear friend and colleague Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub.
She said before his passing, Salahuddin had a habit of telling her what he saw in television news about her ministry’s programmes, and if he still survived until today, he would have been very happy to watch the news that the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living and Youth and Sports Ministry came together to promote the Payung Rahmah initiative together.

00:00 The Ramadhan menu introduced by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Social Welfare
00:05 under the leadership of Aulayaham Datuk Sri Salauddin Ayub
00:09 has become a meaningful legacy for the Malaysian people.
00:13 Aulayaham has witnessed many complaints about the lack of prosperity.
00:19 Therefore, Aulayaham has implemented and introduced the concept of Ramadhan
00:25 as a symbol of unity,
00:27 where people can come together and help each other in times of need.
00:32 As a fellow, I do not want to see the efforts of Aulayaham's legacy stop there.
00:38 Therefore, I think that in enabling people to have more access to goods,
00:44 equipment and clothing can also be taken into account.
00:48 I want to depart from the speech for a while.
00:52 As I wrote in my memoirs with Aulayaham Datuk Sri Salauddin Ayub,
01:00 he would always, every Wednesday, during Cabinet meetings,
01:06 he would pass by my seat first before his seat.
01:10 He would come and say, "Yesterday, I watched the news at midnight,
01:16 at 12 midnight,
01:17 and I saw KBS on TV once again."
01:21 He would say, "I think this is unfair,
01:24 because every time, TV gives priority to KBS."
01:30 And every week, he would watch the news.
01:34 Sometimes, he would come home late at night,
01:36 at 12 or 15 midnight, and I would get a text.
01:39 I would look at the news together.
01:41 He would take a screenshot of the TV and send it to the KBS press conference.
01:47 But I believe that if he were still here today,
01:52 he would certainly be happy to see the Malay and Sukan news
02:00 coming together at the end,
02:05 and promoting the Rahmah branding.
02:09 You've got the love.
