The funeral prayer was held at the Ipoh Indian Muslim Mosque at noon. It is also reported that the late Musthafa will be buried at Tanah Perkubutan Gurap today.
The late Musthafa often prepared ‘bubur lambuk’ for the surrounding people during the Ramadhan month. It has been 80 years since the family started the tradition. He woke up early and prepared the food ingredients at 8 a.m. He would also make sure the ‘bubur lambuk’ were cooked by afternoon during Zuhur.
