Mr Iskhandar Remembered... by Emma Rooney https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w From all of us who knew and loved him en-us 2021-07-22 05:38:45 UTC 2026-03-20 21:42:37 UTC hello@padlet.com Sara: https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658840645 Iskhandar was like a big brother to me. He loved to wind me up but also gave me support when I most needed. Before his passing, he messaged me every week for the last 2 months to make me laugh, tell me about the latest durian offers or just checking up on us. 

He was always up for a laugh, often getting involved in office pranks that we played. 

Last year, we decided to decorate his desk area for his birthday knowing full well that it would probably make him cringe with attention, but actually he came into school and he was touched by the gesture possibly because he didn't consider how special he was to everyone and how much we really love him. 

I pray Allah grants him the highest abode in Jannah and I hope he's not giving the angels a hard time. You have left a gaping hole in my heart. Your little sister, Sara xx]]> 2021-07-23 01:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658840645 Kepada Mr Iskh..Alfatihah. Selamat jalan ke negara abadi, semoga bahagia di sana. Apa yang Noor ingat tentang Mr Iskh adalah selalu mengutamakan tugas lebih daripada apa pun. Masih ingat motivasi yang diberikan dengan bersahaja dan humor. Semoga sampai bacaan Yassin Noor pada Mr Iskh.

I will definitely miss his warm smile and gesture- the 3rd floor will no longer feel the same without you, Sir.

I have learnt many things under your guidance. Thanks for lightening up with some 'Reface App' videos recently that took some stress off with online learning. You will be missed! Rest in peace friend. givaananthan https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658898621 2021-07-23 01:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658898621 En Iskhandar sat next to me (buddy) in staffroom for years since I first started working. He was humorous and there was never a day he didn't make me laugh when he sat next to me and he was the first one who complimented my work even he was not the post holder at the time and he shared with me his understanding of our SG students. I will always treasure my memory lane with him. Happiness helps a lot to ease each working day. Thank you. You will be remembered. pangalbert https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658951025 2021-07-23 02:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658951025 Assalamualaikum kepada Mr.Isk...Alfatihah. Perjalanan ke negeri abadi Mr.Is sangat mudah. Terima kasih atas jasa baik Mr.Isk selama menjadi ketua saya. Mr. Isk banyak memudahkan urusan saya dan anak-anak. Mr. Isk juga seorang mentor dan banyak memberikan nasihat yang memberikan jalan penyelesaian kepada sesuatu kekeliruan. Terima kasih cikgu. Semoga ditempatkan di dalam kalangan orang-orang beriman. jumaidah https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658957441 2021-07-23 02:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658957441 Isk was an undeniably great guy. He was initially my line manager when I started at TISKL and helped me to find my feet, as well as helping me to understand the school culture. I loved how he made time to speak to everyone and was able to relate to staff members. He was a real people’s person and spoke on behalf of all. When I started working with Isk more closely, I soon realised how important he was to the school community, how much he cared about the school community and how dedicated he was to his job. He is a huge loss to our school and will be greatly missed by all. It will never be the same in the SLT office without him. I will always remember his jokes, his laughs and his amazing personality. May Allah protect him in the Akhirah and grant him jannatul firdaus. safwanmitha https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658959274 2021-07-23 02:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658959274 davidjackson16 https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658984046 I have had the honour to have worked with Iskh since January 2017, I can't put into words how much he has supported and helped me in this time. Anything I needed to check on I knew Iskh would be the man to ask and would offer useful and thoughtful advice. 
He taught GP along side me and helped me navigate the subject when I first started teaching it. We have spent many days over the years sat in the office compiling and preparing to send off coursework and his relaxed attitude always made the work less onerous. 
I will always remember his kindness, his humour, his exasperated sighs when Shia did something 'wrong', his finishing most sentences 'no worries', his replying to my WhatsApps in BM to try and help me learn, his friendship, his guidance, his support.  
Iskh, you will be missed beyond words, thank you for everything. ]]> 2021-07-23 03:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658984046 Pn Aida. https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658985559 EN IS...

I should have contacted you for a catch up. It is still hard to accept that you are no more.. You shared about the way you grew up and the principles that you uphold such as resilient. I will always treasure the advises that you have shared to me. One of the vivid memory with you was during the Janda Baik team building where we got to do the river tracking. Both of us were the last in the line. We had a great time sharing stories and falling between the rocks. A huge salute for your services to TISKL. Rest in peace, may the Lord showers love upon you in His abode. Take care my friend.

I remembered when he come to help me and Ida for our WSC and enhance the students' debate skill because he is passionate about debate and an expert in it. 

I remembered the time when he is always at the staffroom sitting at the English department and I would be busy body and talk with the gang with him, Ida, Bathma and Kak Siti. What we talk about is out of this world but the memories and the laughter remains.

I remembered the time he would scold me for my mistakes as I just got my post for my HOD and I know it's my fault and he would always toughen me up for my new role. That is his way of showing his love and concern for me.

He would invite me with the others to go for short holidays but I had other commitments with my family. That was the one thing I regret not doing with the gang.. =.='

More importantly, my dear boss, you are going into a different and a long journey ahead. my thoughts and prayers are always for you so that may we reach for the eternal life ahead. Praying for your soul to be blessed by Allah and be amongst the pious. May your journey reach the Jannah. :)]]> 2021-07-23 03:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658990875 Mr. Iskhandar. 😌 noorainuriza https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1658995545 SEDIH!!! Tetapi itulah kenyataannya.
Selamat kembali kepada Sang Pencipta, Mr .Iskh. Semoga Mr. Iskh sedang tersenyum dari sana sambil melihat kami semua sedang merindui Mr. Iskh. Terlalu banyak jasa untuk dihitung, terlalu banyak memori untuk dikenang! Tiada lagi lawak jenaka Mr. Isk di BM Department. Pasti kami akan terkenang akan semua memori itu. Di sebalik lawak jenaka pasti ada sisipan nasihat buat kami. Terima kasih kerana menjadi tulang belakang buat kami semua. Kami akan merindui semua kenangan itu.
Terlalu banyak kebaikan Mr. Iskh terhadap saya secara jujurnya. Saya ibarat kehilangan seorang lagi bapa. Hilang "sifu" saya sekelip mata. Aduhhhh!!!

Innalillahiwainnaillahirajiun.

Semoga dirimu tenang bersama pencipta yg SATU! Moga segala kebaikanmu dihitung & segala keburukanmu dihapuskan atas asbab segala kebaikanmu kepada kami....Aaamiin...🤲🏾

The school has lost a wonderful, dedicated and professional individual.

He means so much to so many people and he will be dearly missed.



The most influential people, the ones who leave behind incredible legacies, will live on in the hearts of the people they touch. Physically, they will no longer be a part of society—but their principles, philosophies and achievements will become immortal, spreading from generation to generation.

His passion in education is truly undeniable. A great loss for the school and its community.  My heart goes out to his family and hope they find comfort knowing he is in a better place.
Thank you Mr Iskh for everything and you will be missed. Rest in peace.

I saw it most when he protected our working hours, being considerate of the time we had...or didn't have haha. He also demanded the best out of us. 

Occasionally, I'd be in the meeting room alone (sebab kena halau from own room) and he would saunter in. My first thought would be 'I'm in trouble.' He's my boss mah. But he would sit with me, either to clarify work stuff, or ask me about my travels (he loved my hometown)...or to just sit. He was one of the first few to put me at ease when I first came. His banters with Ms Shia and Ms Jaya hahah. 

The beginning of this year was super scary for me so I went to him daily for help. He'd always be calm, helpful and assuring. Will miss that tiny stool by his table. How different and DIFFICULT it's going to be walking into that office again T_T.

Agak lama jugak saya mengenali arwah sepanjang hampir 18 tahun saya mengajar di sini. Mula2, saya agak takut dengan arwah kerana arwah seorang yang sangat tegas apabila bekerja. Lama-kelamaan, hubungan antara rakan sekerja bertukar seperti sahabat kerana arwah seorang rakan sekerja yang menyenangkan. Arwah selalu bercerita tentang kampungnya di Muar, sebab saya suka pergi Muar..hehehe. Pergi bercuti di Bali dan juga Eco Murai adalah kenangan manis dengan arwah. 
Banyak pengalaman, nasihat dan juga sokongan yang saya peroleh daripada arwah.
Doa saya akan ada untuk arwah. Moga arwah tenang dan di tempatkan dalam kalangan para solihin..aamiinn..]]> 2021-07-23 05:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659099793 Kind, Calm & Steady Man -- Mr Iskhandar maytoh https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659112867 You were such a kind, calm and steady man who went all out for people and work.  With all the details, issues and chaos, yet your smiley face and calmness was always there to accompany us and sail us through.

Your love and dedication to students and colleagues would always be remembered and missed.  Thank you for giving to the Lord and people around you.  The lives you have been blessed and impacted would continue to grow and pay it forward.  

Praying for comfort and strength upon your beloved family.  RIP .... ... Forever be missed and remembered.

Mr Ishkandar has silently closed the door of life and departed from us. He was a great leader, sincere, earnest and loyal. He gave energy and inspiration to us. He had a beautiful smile, a sense of humour and a gentle demeanour. Mr Ish was bright, logical & systematic in his thinking. He was always willing to share his ideas and information. Mr Ish certainly an irreplaceable soul and I will miss his ever smiling face. Mr Ish may you rest in the peace you so richly deserve.

A true and loyal friend, a mentor, a rock of stability and dependability. And at the core of everything you did and said, there was integrity and love and an adherence to what was right and fair and kind.

You were the lynchpin of our team. Modest and insanely hardworking, incredibly efficient, incredibly skilled, incredibly shrewd and intelligent. Devoted to the success of your colleagues and your students and above all, this school. Everything a leader should be.

As a colleague, you were an inspiration and made working here an utter joy. Your leadership skills were rivalled only by your devilish sense of humour - memories of some of our 'office pranks' over the years will have me smiling for the rest of my life. Thank you for all the belly-laughs. Thank you for the joy and kindness. And thank you for teaching me Malay swear words and terms of abuse :-D

I will never, never forget you, and am so very grateful I had the privilege of knowing you and working with you.]]> 2021-07-23 06:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659151542 WongPS https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659156888 To Mrs.Iskandar & family, our deepest condolences to you all.       

I have known Mr.Isk for the past 21 years and never for once it was a boring working day with him. He will be there to advise & guide us when we make mistake or need any help, will share many jokes (most were very hilarious ). 
 He loves durian very much & there were time me & wife together with Mr.Isk & wife will drive in two cars ( hoping to fill our bonnets with durians & fruits ) all the way to Mantin in N9 to buy it. His favourite durian were Musang King, D24 & IoI brand. He can also crack a joke on how to enjoy the durian to the maximum!
He loves to travel & his favourite destination were Bali ( there were a joke about it too. Haha.). Beside Bali he second place is London as he loves its people and culture. He grow up there when his dad were posted there a few years in the army.
He is a unique person who are firm, dominion but at the same time super friendly, kind hearted and a great leader & friend too. Can't believe that he is no longer with us, but like the malay proverb says,
" Harimau mati meninggalkan belang,
Manusia mati meninggalkan nama".
( Dead tiger leaves stripes,  dead man leaves a name )
That is Mr.Iskandar my truly friends till the end. Rest in peace Saudara-ku! 
Regards from me & wife.

A jovial and humble guy who would never turn away from any help we seek.   The deep sorrow of receiving the devastating news. The fact that you have left and gone from us.   I remembered once, one of your student studying overseas dedicated her essay to you, her beloved teacher.  The dean of the Uni shared this with the school.  We felt so proud for you.   A great Teacher – A great Deputy - A great loss.   It saddens me that I will not get to see your cheerful smile, your warm laugh humor and  jokes, your never say No attitude.  A generous and kind person will be remembered by me for years to come. Life is short - so they say but nothng prepare us for things like this.     May your good soul rest in peace.

You were such a welcoming person when I first came to TISKL. Whenever I had a conversation with you, you genuinely took time out of your very busy schedule to be present in the conversation and to tell me stories about your life and family. It’s rare to find someone who is genuinely caring and firm in their values. Thank you for all the time you spent caring for others. Enjoy the rest now! You certainly deserve it. 

To Mr. Iskhandar’s family:
Wishing you peace during this time of grief. May you be comforted. Please stay safe and healthy during this pandemic too. We will always remember how easy it was to work with him for the Cambridge Exams in the past. Take care.

Always ready to do you a favour and put you on the right track. No matter was too small - he would try to find a solution to your problem. After nine years at school I learnt that if anybody knew what was going on, it was probably Isk. The school’s on fire! - have you checked with Isk?

He used to drop into my classroom from time to time for a chat about this and that. Maybe a timetable thing or something to do with GP but the conversation would divert to matters existential. He asked once “Was is true that in Scotland haggis was really cooked in a sheep’s stomach?” I told him it was true. He looked unsure about the whole situation, but Isk being Isk decided it was nothing to worry about. He wished me a good day and went on his way.

Life at school will not be the same without you there. Rest easy my dear friend. The term has nearly ended. Time to be with our loved ones, where ‘er they may be.

Iskh ....I have known you for 14 years, through discussions and just some hang out sessions in the Secondary SLT room, I have gotten to know you better. The times we spoke about methods and ways to help and support  our students, there is genuine passion within you to see through that these students make it. You have always been the one I would go to if I had an academic question i needed advice and guidance. Your calm demeanor has always inspired me. 

I will miss your laughter and smile when  we share every thing and anything under the sun from food, holiday destinations to our children and how they are doing. 

I will cherish the fond memories we shared, your passion for your work will inspire me and I hope all the young minds you have touched. Thank you for your time with us.

Now, without you around, it's gonna be pretty quiet. And, I still can't believe that you have left us so sudden. May your soul rest in peace. 

My deepest condolences to your family. ]]> 2021-07-23 14:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659419471 Ten https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659777543 Hi Mr. Is, I never thought that you would leave us (especially me) so suddenly. I always believed you would heal, recover and come back to us like the Spiderman in Spiderman 2 movie whose power resurrects after he returns to his normal life because of losing power. Then, I was thinking of having a Black Thorn Durian feast with you on our next trip or gathering after the pandemic. I just wanted to have this special experience with you because you and I are also “kaki durian” although you may have a bite of it due to your health conditions this year. 

Mr. Is, I wanted to let you know that you were my “sifu” to me when I was in TISKL. As I told you before, “Without you, I won't be where I am today, you look like Misbun and I look like Lee Chong Wei in TISKL”. I learned a lot from you and your dedication to your work indirectly affects me and my life too. For example, do you remember that you have asked me this question before, “Ten, do you think of your wife when you are working?” And, this is how I went through all my lessons and my meetings with the teacher this week after the day you were leaving us.

I believe we are going to miss 
  • your jokes or humour with a serious face, and sometimes u make us guess whether you are joking or serious about something with good intentions,
  • your straightforward and honest advices,
  • warm greetings about us, our family and so on.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my condolences to the family. May his soul rest in peace]]> 2021-07-24 05:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659833937 Peter Wells https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1659838104 I am going to start this with some simple words with powerful meaning “thank you Iskhandar”. Thank you for your support, your counsel, your advice, and for everything you have done for the school. I had the privilege of working with Iskhandar since 2009, and have always respected his calm and gentle approach, his knowledge and passion for education. He helped me in so many ways that I have not been able to thank him for. He has been a pillar of the secondary school, and for twelve years, he has been my ‘go to person’ to understand Malaysian education, Malaysian teachers and of course the MoE.
Most of all, I have huge appreciation for the way that Iskhandar worked effortlessly with people. Never one for the limelight, his humble approach didn’t disguise his huge impact on students and teachers over the years, and the respect that they had for him in return. Something that comes out a lot when people talk about Iskhandar is his sense of humour, his mischievous smile, and fun.
A great teacher, a great colleague, and a true gentleman who exemplified the RECIPE core values everyday. I will miss Iskhandar, but he will live on in my heart and mind, and on many occasions I will just smile remembering him. 
May he rest in peace.

We may not have much interactions during my time with Taylor's International Schools but your passion as an educator always impressed me from afar. Your zeal and energy always WOW me. 

Whenever, I chat with fellow teachers, your name always come up as the most positive, compassionate, patience and giving person. The few times we met and chat at TISKL campus make me confirmed that you are a jewel to TISKL and Malaysia education sector. Always love how you shared about what you can do better to enhance students learning. 

You may not be with us physically anymore, your legacy will live on in all our hearts. I will like to Thank You for being such an AWESOME teacher in the lives of so many students, including me cause you shown me what it takes to be a GREAT TEACHER. 

Rest in Peace. 
Your Former Co-worker in TISKL, Aaron Chua (Singapore)

Now I know he truly is.  
I guess no more picking up the phone and ranting to him about everything that goes wrong, no more walking to his desk for snacks, no more conversations about all the crazy things that happen.
But what will remain is a beautiful memory of knowing a gem of a guy like Iskandar. 
He would be having a good laugh at us now. Iskandar, you shocked us all. We will miss you, a lot!]]> 2021-07-26 02:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1660608355 Raj Sharma https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1660705477 Very rarely does an opportunity come when you meet someone who is truly inspiring, caring, supportive, honest, and incredibly joyful. In the 2 years we have known each other you became a close friend who always put the needs of others first. You showed immense intelligence, insight, loyalty, adaptability and was always willing to try out new ideas for the benefit of the school, for which you dedicated so much of your time and energy, and somehow always managed a smile and even a few jokes to lift the mood.
It will be difficult to find someone of your calibre to continue doing what ever it takes for the school and students to progress. You have also connected with so many hearts who will miss you deeply.  You will be remembered as the master creator of Queen memes and as a very dear friend whose memories are forever ingrained in my heart and mind.]]> 2021-07-26 04:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1660705477 Ivan https://padlet.com/rooneyemma/sv2cvsgjvh5jsl5w/wish/1660804093 Mr Iskhandar is a successful leader who doesn't need anything in return but serves our wide school community in meaningful ways that mould TISKL into a reputable school today.

A small chat sometimes can be lengthy when it comes to TRAVELLING! 
A full guides given by late Mr Iskhandar, he even sent emails  to ensure that I will survive in the yet- to visit-destination,BALI! Yes a few emails of guidelines on how to go, where to stay, whom to contact....can sense his passions through his sharings.
Mr. Iskhandar, I will treasure all the guides and definitely when the time permits, I will do as what you suggested, mentioned your name there....

To Mr Iskhandar's family, stay strong...

It was a pleasure getting to know him. I first met him in a training where i found him to be a really good listener to all his colleagues. This naturally made him a good counselor and is always ready to give out advice to those who seeks it. 

He is also a soft spoken person who is gentle and warm in nature. I will always remember him as my caring and wonderful friend. Whenever I have needed his help, he is always there.

Although he is no more longer around us, physically but I will forever cherish the moments when he inspires, motivates and makes me laugh. He has definitely left an indelible impact in me and I personally feel his passing is a great loss to our school. I even had a junior in university that remembers him as her favourite English teacher when she was in Primary 6. He always tries his best to protect us in his own unique way. He even address us; teachers as 'The Avengers'. Thanks for the compliments but please know this; you have always been one of the best Avenger in my heart.

Thank you Iskhandar, for all your kind words and gestures. You will be missed. Your smile and great sense of humour will live on forever.

May Allah reward you and place you amongst the best people for all your contributions to this world. May Iskhandar be granted the highest place in Jannah, in shaa Allah. I bid you Adieu, my dear friend. 

My sincerest and deepest condolences to Iskhandar's family. May Allah grant all of you the strength and patience during this tough time.

He has a tremendous impact on all who got to know him. Initially, my journey as an exam officer with Him was quite sour and bitter, which later move toward the sweetest part of my life. Working the rest of part alone without Him now is heartbreaking & apprehensive. I still can't believe the person who I speak at least twice a day is no more! However, I am glad and lucky enough to work with Him and got a chance to see what a dedicated and committed man he was. 

I will never forget his words, "Gaya..work is work. It must be on in whatever circumstances, keep your emotions a sight &  always learn to love your job!"

I will miss him dearly and...   there are no goodbyes to you Mr.Isk. Wherever you will be, you'll be in my heart forever!
I know you are in a better place now & one day we shall meet again! Love you Mr.Isk.

He made an incredible impact on me and I will miss him so much.
Isk was dedicated and never give up in his effort to make the school move from one to next level. A genuine leader who always tells me "All for our school Sandhi" and for the students, i cant imagine going back to school not seeing him anymore. It’s going to take time for me to get through the shock of this loss....He used to share his best friend story, school life , he was a hockey player, ...he sometimes narrate the stories he read. Iskhandar thank you i can never forget how you were guiding me when i first decided to visit Bali. Bali is his favourite destination.  
To the family members, my heartiest condolences and may his soul rest in peace.
Iskhandar 
You are someone who brought a great light to our school tiskl that even you are not here the light remains.

I have always enjoyed talking to him.  Over the years, he has shared glimpses of his personal life - his children's successes, his love for channel 416 and his travels. 

One thing that strikes me the most about Encik Iskhandar is how well-spoken and knowledgeable he is. He is still my old-fashioned idea of an honourable gentleman and will always do what he deems the right thing. His is a solid, measured and well-balanced voice, a voice we will all miss.  

Encik Iskhandar, rest in peace. You will be missed.
