Upon his return from London, Lieutenant Adnan Saidi fell in love with an Islamic religious teacher whom he later married. His wife, Madam Sophia Pakih Muda gave birth to three children: two sons, Mokhtar and Zainudin whom are now now living in Seremban and Johore respectively, and a daughter. Unfortunately the baby girl died in her early infancy shortly after Singapore fell. Despite his busy schedule as a career soldier, Lieutenant Adnan Saidi settled down quickly as a family man. He dotes his boys and would always try to find time for his kids.
Before going off to fight the war, Adnan bin Saidi's sons kissed their father’s hand as their last respect and he reminded them to be good, little did they know that it would be their last moment together.
