Matawalle recalled how the deceased reported the state in positive light during his short stay in the state  even at the detriment of being sanctioned by some of his colleagues. 


' The deceased was a thorough developmental journalist and not one of those armed chair journalists who stay in  the comfort of their rooms to dish out false and fake news without recourse to abiding with the ethics of the profession. 


While, urging his family to take solace in the Qur'anic verse that says 'Every soul shall have the taste of death' he prayed to Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah firdausi.
