Carefree images: Abdul Rahman showing the last few messages he received from Zaharie.
GEORGE TOWN: Abdul Rahman Bistamam last received a WhatsApp message from Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah at 11.41am on March 6, about 36 hours before he took off with MH370.
The pilot sent a picture of a zombie talking on the phone with the caption: “Mandi hadas ala bertamayum, tak yah berbedak lagi. Handsome abg!!!” which poked fun at the current water crisis. (Figuratively, the message meant: “Even if you don’t wash or put on powder, you will look handsome, elder brother!!!”)
