KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim pledged to pay his respects to the late Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali today. When reporters inquired if he would visit Tun Siti Hasmah's spouse, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar confirmed that he would do so later.
Anwar affirmed during the International Future Conference 2026 that the government acknowledges Dr Siti Hasmah's contributions and service to the nation. Dr Siti Hasmah had been actively involved in charitable work and raising awareness of issues affecting the public during her tenure as the prime minister's wife.
Dr Siti Hasmah passed away at the National Heart Institute (IJN) today, as confirmed by her son, Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir. Born on July 12, 1926, in Klang, Selangor, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah was one of Malaysia's pioneering Malay women doctors, with a distinguished career in medicine, public health, and social work.
