SUBANG JAYA: It has been about a month since special branch officer Asst Comm Ibrahim Lebar was killed in Semporna and his family remembers him as a hero and is determined to fulfil his wishes.

His widow, Rosiah Dahlan, 52, said the family was starting to come to terms with the sudden loss of her husband.
“I have gone back to work (with a bank) and my three kids have resumed their studies.

“We miss him dearly, but he would have wanted us to move on with our lives and be happy,” she said after receiving Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the family home in USJ9 here yesterday.

Najib arrived at the house at around 4pm and spent more than 30 minutes with the family.

Rosiah’s eldest daughter is studying in Egypt while her son studies at the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in Segamat, Johor. Another daughter is taking her SPM examination here later this year.

Rosiah said she was pleasantly surprised by Najib’s visit as she did not expect him to visit them in the midst of his tight schedule due to the general election.
