'She was never one to correct me in public. If she had something to say, she would wait until we were alone, usually in the car on the way home,' he said. He recounted one such moment that remained etched in his memory — a quiet lesson in grace and consideration during a formal dinner event. He said they were often invited to official functions, particularly dinners. On one occasion, after finishing their meal, he stood up and left, prompting others to follow suit. 'In the car, she gently told me, 'Bang (referring to Abang Johari), next time don't stand up so quickly. Look to your left and right first. We've already had our dessert, but others are just being served. When we get up, everyone else follows and they might miss their dessert. Though a small gesture, he said her words stayed with him. 'That was her character. She was quiet, but her words made you reflect. 'Ketek sikit ajak berasa you' (just a little nudge, and you feel it),' he said. He shared that it had been 40 days since her passing. During the event, Abang Johari was accompanied by his daughter, Dayang Norjihan. On June 23, 2025, corresponding to 26 Zulhijjah 1446H, Juma'ani passed away at 3.34am at Normah Medical Centre here. She was laid to rest at the Samariang Muslim Cemetery The daughter of Sarawak's second Yang di-Pertua Negeri, Tun Tuanku Bujang Tuanku Othman, Juma'ani married Abang Johari on Feb 26, 1977. She also served as president of the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Sarawak (Sabati). Abang Johari Tun Openg Juma'ani Tun Tuanku Bujang lead Sarawak Women's Day
