Remembering the quieter side of Dr Siti Hasmah [WATCH]
When Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali died yesterday, I was left remembering her warmth, a plate of bihun and the extraordinary life she led, writes INTAN MAIZURA AHMAD KAMAL
When Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali passed away at 100 years old, the author found themselves recalling her warm personality and simple comforts. She had interviewed the former first lady almost four years prior, and the memory of their conversation still resonated. Her modest home in Kuala Lumpur, filled with family photographs and a piano, offered a glimpse of her quieter side.
The author described her demeanor, her gentle voice, and the way she played the piano. It was the small, everyday moments, like enjoying breakfast and playing music, that stayed with the author more than her significant achievements.
