Education superintendent Brian Scott Padam, who led the prayers, called on everyone to ponder the meaning of time and reflect on how fragile life is.
“We know that we are all creatures of time, but our time should not be measured in just hours, months and years. Tok Nan lived for only 72 years if we measure his time,” he said.
“Some of us sit here thinking that he has lived to his fullest while others feel that his life was cut short. Perhaps instead our life should be measured by the relationships we have with others.”
Meanwhile, Batu Kitang assemblyman and Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang pledged to protect a 46-acre plot approved by Adenan for a park project in Batu Kawa, dedicating it in his memory.
“He showed us the Adenan Way and left behind a legacy and a challenging task for his predecessor to inherit,” he said.
