Condolence message to Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim by DAP Secretary-General and the Chief Minister of Penang on 5th April 2015
Anwar’s Unyielding Determination and Stoic Resilience in His Moment of Pain, Sorrow And Anguish Honours His Father In A Manner That No Wealth And Position Can Give.
I am deeply saddened by the news of the demise of Dato’ Ibrahim bin Abdul Rahman, a proud son of Penang and the father of Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Dato’ Ibrahim was a former Member of Parliament in Penang. He also served Penang as the former Parliamentary Secretary to the Health Ministry. The Penang state government regards Datuk Ibrahim’s passing as a great loss to the people of Penang and Malaysia.
No one can imagine the pain of Anwar in having to endure death of his loved ones while in prison. Anwar’s mother Che Yan passed away in 2001 while he was serving his first prison term for Sodomy 1.0.
Anwar was prevented from attending the funerals of two closest political allies, namely Datuk Fadzil Noor and Tok Guru Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat who died in June 2002 and 12th February 2015. On both occasions, he was in prison.
It is tragic that Anwar had to lose his mother and father on both occasions when he was in prison. Anwar’s unyielding determination and stoic resilience in his moment of pain, sorrow and anguish, honours his father in a manner that no wealth and position can give.
On behalf of both the Penang state government and the DAP, we offer our deepest condolences to Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Dato’ Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Nurul Izzah Anwar and the family for their loss of Dato’ Ibrahim Abdul Rahman.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2015年4月5日在槟城针对拿督斯里安华依布拉的父亲逝世欣表示哀悼：
安华不屈不扰的意志及在伤痛、悲哀及痛苦之余所表现的坦然，是他对其父亲的最高敬意，无论多少财富及官位都给不到的。
我对于拿督斯里安华依布拉欣的父亲、槟城之子拿督依布拉欣阿都拉曼的逝世感到悲伤。
拿督依布拉欣是槟州前国会议员。他也曾担任卫生部政务次长。槟州政府视拿督依布拉欣的离世为槟城及马来西亚的损失。
没有人可以想像安华在监狱中面对亲人死别所需承受的痛苦。安华的母亲CheYan在2001年过世时，也正值安华为鸡奸案1.0第一次入狱服刑。
安华不被允许出席两名亲密政治战友的葬礼，他们是分别于2002年6月及2015年2月12日逝世的拿督法兹诺及拿督聂阿兹。他们逝世时，正好他都在狱中。
安华在服刑狱中，需面对母亲和父亲逝世的两宗恶耗。安华不屈不扰的意志及在伤痛、悲哀及痛苦之余所表现的坦然，是他对其父亲的最高敬意，无论多少财富及官位都给不到的。
我谨代表槟州政府及民主行动党，向拿督斯里安华依布拉欣、拿督斯里旺阿兹查、鲁努及其他家属致哀。
林冠英
