“I want to honour Anjum Begum, who died recently. She moved to Canada in the 1990s and spent her life helping others in Mississauga.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to pay tribute to a pillar of the Mississauga community, Mrs. Anjum Begum, who recently passed away. Hers was a classic immigrant success story. Arriving in the 1990s, she and her life partner, prominent journalist Latafat Ali Siddiqui, built a beautiful life with their four daughters. Together they became the heartbeat of our community, defined by philanthropy and compassion. Anjum’s heart and her kitchen were always open. No one ever left her home without a hearty meal. Her values of hard work and integrity live on through her beloved daughters, Faran, Maleeha, Dania and Leena, whose successes and contributions were one of her proudest joys in life. The massive outpouring of grief at her service last week was a true testament to who she was and the impact that she made. I offer my deepest condolences to her family. May she rest in peace.
