Malaysian legendary artist Uji Rashid explains why Cico's father didn't attend on the day of his death

The absence of the late Cico Harahap’s father when the actor passed away on 8 November was because his father had also already passed away.

Malaysian legendary artist Uji Rashid, 73, confirmed that her ex-husband, Encik Jamaluddin Jalil Harahap, died in September, though the cause of death was not disclosed.

According to Uji, many people questioned why Cico’s father did not attend, unaware of the real situation.

"People asked why his father didn’t come. Cico found it hard to talk to people, and he didn't tell them that his father had also recently passed away," Malay daily Harian Metro quoted her as saying during a Yasin, tahlil, and donation event at Masjid Bukit Antarabangsa. Also present was the mosque’s Nazir, Lieutenant Colonel (R) Rosllee Derohim.

Uji, whose real name is Fuziah Haroun Al Rashid, explained that there were unresolved issues between father and son—primarily because the late father did not visit Cico while the 48-year-old actor was sick, causing Cico to harbor hurt feelings. Despite this, they remained in contact and the father occasionally invited him out when he was well.

Uji noted that Cico (whose real name, Ezzaq Farrouq Harahap) had longed for his father's presence during his illness. When Uji later advised Cico to visit his father's grave upon hearing of his passing, Cico refused, preferring to pray for his father's forgiveness instead.

For record, Uji and Jamaluddin Jalil married around 1978 and had divorced long ago. Cico passed away at approximately 11:00 AM on 8 November at Ampang Hospital, Selangor, due to shortness of breath, and was laid to rest at the Ukay Perdana Islamic Cemetery. 

He leaves behind a daughter, Rindu Nur Fitrah from his previous marriage with Puan Nur Fuziani Abdullah.
