Esther Schokman 1933-2018

Esther (born 10 March 1933) is the second daughter of Dr Che Lah bin Mohd Joonos and Daisy Catherine Decoursey Bulner. Dr Che Lah was an early Malay doctor in British Malaya and Malaysia. 

Esther had worked in the accounts department of the Malayan Railway Administration (MRA) in Kuala Lumpur. It is not known when she started working with the MRA but she retired from the MRA in 1988.

Esther married to Aelian Cantlay Schokman at the St Mary's Church in Kuala Lumpur on 5 September 1959. They have 2 children - Muhamed Al-Jeffrey Schokman bin Abdullah (1961) and Veronica Alison Christobel Schokman (1964).

Muhamed Al-Jeffrey Schokman married Siti Noor Azar binti Majid (1961). They have 4 children - Muhamed Armin Schokman (1987), Nurlisa Sharmin Schokman (1990), Muhamed Aiman Schokman (1993), and Nur Hanis Schokman (1996).

I met Esther and Jeffrey at Impiana KLCC in 2009. I didn't meet Aelian as I was informed he was unwell and had just returned from the hospital. I had completed the first 40 drafts on my book on The Early Malay Doctors. We went through her father's biography and made additions and corrections. She was thrilled. I have sent her my published book via her son Jeffrey.

Jeffrey informed that his wife Siti Noor Azar had left her pharmacy job to do something else.

Veronica Alison Christobel Schokman married once but is now single. I have met Veronica once. She has a lot of photos of herself and relatives in her Facebook. She has a cousin named Jack Schokman who runs a photography business in Perth. She also has an uncle named Ossy.

Aelian Cantlay Schokman passed away on 15 May 2011.
Esther Schokman passed away on 24 June 2018.
