Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressed surprise at the sudden passing of his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, who was seen alive and well the night prior. In a video, Mahathir conversed with Sultan Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who had come to offer condolences and pay respects to Hasmah. The Pahang ruler was joined during his visit by Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah and Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah.
Mahathir conveyed his gratitude to the royal family for making the journey from Pahang to extend their sympathies to the family. Hasmah, aged 100, passed away at the National Heart Institute (IJN) around 9:25 am the previous day. Her elder sons, Datuk Seri Mokhzani Mahathir and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, recounted how Mahathir remained by her side until her final breath.
Hasmah was subsequently buried at the Heroes' Mausoleum in Putrajaya, receiving a state funeral. Tun Mahathir and Hasmah had been united in marriage for seven decades.
