Dear Mariners,
As…kum
Mutaher Hussain (Mintu) 9E, expired on 8th Dec 17 in Dhaka due to heart attack while having coffee in a restaurant. He was on a short holiday.
His body was brought to Melbourne on 15th Dec and buried next day. His family has expressed gratitude for your kind condolence messages/phone calls and will be read out before the audience during a memorial DOA mahfil after the New Year
His sudden and untimely death has shaken Melbournians and has created a void among our close knit marine community. He was three years my junior, a loving younger brother and was more than my family member. Our frequent home visits, dinner, adda, disputes/reconciliations spanned for nearly 30 years.
Before his ill-fated journey to Bangladesh, he told me that he worked very hard throughout the year (14 hrs a day), tired and stressed out, must go away from building sites for R & R with his family & friends. I told him; in that case he must feed us best food in the best place. He hosted a grand party for all Victorian mariners in a renowned restaurant. As the adda went on for an extended period, many of us incurred parking fines for our cars, I recall with very heavy heart that Mutaher forcibly took away these infringement notices from our hands and EFTed fines to council through his mobile phone.
After getting redundant from employment, he got his practical hands-on experience in our first home construction at Cheltenham, Melbourne. I sponsored and facilitated him to obtain building license and he rapidly mastered intricate construction process and project management skill. I continued to support him particularly in compliance and legal issues, at times we got locked up in bitter arguments but ended in resolutions, He was a very pleasant, smart, rough and tough guy and starting from zero, he was managing over $3 million worth of building works and recently bought another new Porsche SUV.
Due to dwindling burial grounds in Melbourne, we, Victorian Mariners have recently purchased a section of Muslim graveyard within Melbourne metropolitan area and each mariner was allocated a pair of monumental graves with freehold titles
Mutaher has become the first mariner, taken a spot for eternal rest in this newly acquired “Mariners Cemetery”.
We shall remember Mutaher in all days to come. May Allah keep his soul in heaven.
Kind regards
Dilwar Ali (6E)
