Over 2,000 gather to pay final respects to Siti Hasmah
SERDANG: More than 2,000 congregants gathered at Masjid As Syarif, Taman Sungai Besi Indah this afternoon to perform funeral prayers for Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali.
Hundreds gathered at the Masjid As-Syarif in Seri Kembangan to pay final respects to the late Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali. The mosque quickly became overcrowded, with traffic around the area coming to a standstill as mourners arrived from 1.15pm. Notable figures from politics, the military, and the Cabinet were among those in attendance, including former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The mosque organized additional prayer sessions due to the large crowd, and Dr Hasmah's casket, draped in the national flag, was taken to the National Mausoleum in Putrajaya for the funeral procession.
