KUALA LUMPUR: The late Tan Sri Ani Arope (pic) was not only a “very cool” father who gave priority to his children’s education and character-building, but a much-loved figure among his godchildren, many of whom furthered their studies with his support.

His son Ismail said although Ani was strict, he had given him and his siblings a lot of freedom to explore and do their own things.
