On September 25, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim mourned the death of his elder brother, Idrus Ibrahim, in their hometown. Idrus, who had previously suffered a heart attack the previous year, was found unconscious and died at his home in Cheruk Tokkun. His daughter, Aida Rafizah Idrus, 54, said her father had recovered and was managing well, though he had a weakened leg.
The family was shocked by his sudden passing, as he had no chronic illnesses. Anwar was on a three-day working visit to China at the time of his brother's death, and expressed his grief on Facebook. Funeral prayers for Idrus will be held at Cheruk Tokkun Bawah Mosque before his burial at Cheruk Tokkun Bawah Cemetery tomorrow.
