KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim recalled the most painful and difficult moment of his life - the night his mother passed away while he was incarcerated. Unable to be by her side, Anwar expressed the immense ordeal of watching his beloved mother return to Allah in prison. While he could only pray and recite the Quran, he was eventually granted permission to say a few words to his ailing mother.
After his mother took her final breath, Anwar was allowed to accompany her to the funeral, where he performed the funeral prayers. The incident was shared by Anwar on a podcast called Sembang OhhYeahh, where he spoke of the emotional impact of losing a mother versus a father, the hardships he faced during his detention, and his determination to fight corruption and oppression for the younger generation.
