Yusof bin ishak history of computers

They were descendants of the Minangkabau royalty of the ancient Pagaruyung palace in the central highlands of West Sumatera. Though they were of Minangkabau stock supposedly a fierce warrior stock , they stuck fast to Islamic values and adhered to living together harmoniously. Many of the Minangkabau men of this heritage married Chinese women, and most of these women, coincidentally, were name Aishah!

And almost every Aishah is a Chinese woman married to a Minangkabau man. I have managed to trace the family tree of Yusof bin Ishak, after our family reunion in Penang, which was organised by Prof Ahmad Murad Merican. His parents were affectionately known as Tok Chu and Nenek. Nenek is related to my late father, and Tok Chu to my late mother - they were of Merican stock.

Nenek and my father were Minangkabau descendants. Nenek related to me her family tree and that of Yusof bin Ishak. Tok Chu showed me the big white rolled sheet that contained my ascendants and familiar names of relatives which I remembered from when I was a a little girl. I never knew their real names. Tok Chu made 7 copies of the family tree, which I distributed to my siblings.

At home in Kelantan, I studied the big sheet that had the family trees of my father's descendants and that of Yusof bin Ishak. I also bought books at the reunion. I studied them all and then put together the family tree for Yusof bin Ishak, my father and the rest, including Ami Aziz. When I was putting together my text on Yusof bin Ishak, I had a hard time as I had never heard of him when I was a child, nor did I know what he looked like.

I looked through books and the Internet. The only face I knew was that he resembled Walter Disney. I had thought Yusof bin Ishak was Walter Disney! I did not know his wife and family. From there I searched her photos and videos online. The Singapore Malay language used in the video is something I have not heard for a long long time since I was a small girl.

It took some time for me to understand, and I played the vidoes several times in order to clearly understand what Puan Noor Aishah said - she spoke real fast!
