Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia's Prime Minister, has returned from China to pay final respects to his elder brother, Idrus Ibrahim, who passed away at the age of 83. The elder Anwar arrived at his family home in Bukit Mertajam around 11:05 AM, accompanied by his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, following his working visit to China.
Idrus, who died in his sleep at 6:10 PM on Thursday, was remembered by numerous family members, relatives, and government officials who joined the gathering to pay their respects. Among those present were Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Dr Mohamad Abdul Hamid, Ngah Talib, and Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek. Hundreds of residents, relatives, and friends also attended the tribute, describing Idrus as friendly and approachable.
