Affectionately called \u201cHani\u201d or even \u201cHoney\u201d he was one of three Moor boys who entered Royal College in 1946. \u00a0 The two others viz Hussein Ismeth Rahim aka Tooty, Jehan Raheem, have both predeceased him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Dr AN aniffa Haniffa on completing his education at Royal College, entered the Ceylon Medical College following in the footsteps of elder brother MN Haniffa who was a year senior to us in school.\u00a0 I know that the elder brother represented Royal at Rugby, and I have a faint recollection of Hani too playing rugby for Royal. Both brothers passed out as doctors in the mid to late nineteen fifties. After gaining post graduate qualifications in England, Hani returned to Sri Lanka where he served the country in various capacities as a medical professional. On retirement he was honoured with an appointment as Sri Lanka\u2019s Ambassador to Bangladesh where he served for three years and later as the Ambassador in Oman for a further three years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hani was always\u00a0 quiet, and soft spoken, but a very observant person. I used to sit next to him in class, invariably in the back row, and make snide mischievous comments on our classmates seated in front of us!\u00a0 However his motto was always \u201cwith malice to none\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hani\u2019s family are of ancient stock long resident in Galle. His father MIM Haniffa was\u00a0 Advocate of the Supreme Court and an expert on Muslim Law on which he was a lecturer in the Law College for many years. On moving to Colombo from Galle, the Haniffa family \u00a0became denizens of Wellawatte, first residing \u00a0in Manning Place, Wellawatte where Hani was born, and the family moving to \u00a0to Boswell Place, and later 34 th Lane in Wellawatte where their home named \u201cEl Dorado\u201d was a great rendezvous for us! The family later moved to Kollupitiya.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It was as a ten year old that I kept the company of fellow denizens of Wellawatte like \u201cKoli\u201d Nadesan, of Boswell Place, \u201cBambare Samarasinghe of Nelson Place, and \u201cSivaji Subbramaniam of Vaverset Place, all classmates and thick pals. We used to meet at least once a week, exchange comics, discuss the latest movies, and engage in silly pranks and banter! Ah! \u00a0those were the days !!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I last met Hani quite accidently at the Cinnamon Grand in 2015 when I was on a visit to the old country. Hani was there with his extended family ready for dinner. He almost missed his dinner having joined my wife and I for a long chat. I remember him referring to some cardiac issues he had at the time, which presumably he succumbed to eight years later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In July 1965 he married\u00a0 Ummu\u00a0 Hafeera eldest daughter of former Minister MH Mohamed. He has a son and daughter, his son Dr Ruvaize following in the father\u2019s footsteps both as a medical man as well as in service to his fellow men serving as President of the Sri lanka Medical association, and presently working in the Faculty of Medicine in Colombo. His daughter Sumaiha Hashim works as a teacher in the United Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Farewell dear Hani \u201cVerily, from Allah we came, and to him we shall return\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Hugh Karunanayake<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0OBITUARY Dr AHMED NAISZ HANIFFA 9 JANUARY 1935 \u2013 7 DECEMBER 2023 It is with much \u00a0sadness that I refer to the death of Dr AN Haniffa who I have known for the past nearly eighty years.
