Death note of the Lebanese singer Sussaine Thameem who was ‘murdered’ recently in Dubai.
(Translated from Malayalam)
Marriage or Murder
(In the name of the most compassionate and merciful God. We come from Him and we return to Him)
My real estate property, ornaments, and other valuable items should go to my mother and brother. Nobody else should get a share of the same. The orphans and homeless ones should be protected and should be fed. Virtuous acts should be carried out and care should be taken to tread on the path of righteousness.
I sincerely apologize to those who had suffered because of me. You should pray for me so that I receive mercy from Almighty. Forgive me for all those mistakes that I have committed.
Please show some respect towards me after my death. My mother should be given extra love and care. Special time should be found to take care of her.
You should never do things that will bring upon the wrath of God.
My Libyan episode made me fell in love with singers from the world of Arab music. One of the first things I did after my arrival here is to sync my iPod to the latest in Arabic Pop music. My all time favourite is Nancy Agram – Lebanese by birth but settled in Dubai. When I read the above quoted news item in the Dubai edition of Malayala Manorama, at least for sometime I got a glimpse of the rotten underbelly of the Arab music industry. One of the USP’s of these singers is the deadly combination of beauty and voice. Both these accelerate them to instant stardom status. Their popularity is limited to the Gulf but it is deep rooted and filled with glitz. The lucky ones gets settled in Dubai and this the place where they go around doing their musical harvesting. They sing at parties (private) and clubs, sometimes they are flown into distant places like Libya and Morocco. Money is never a constraint and compared to their male counterparts they have a better ‘salability’.
