Yang saya ingat tentang Hasmah
Beliau bukan sekadar doktor, bukan juga hanya isteri kepada seorang perdana menteri.
Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressed his surprise at his wife Dr Hasmah Ali's sudden passing yesterday, stating that she appeared healthy just the day before. In a video shared on his social media, Mahathir is seen appearing distressed while talking to Sultan Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who had graciously visited the former premier's family for the final respects paid yesterday.
"She was a bit healthy last night," Mahathir added to Sultan Abdullah, accompanied by Pahang's Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah and Pahang's Tengku Mahkota, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah. The former prime minister also thanked the royal family for traveling from Pahang to pay their final tribute and offer condolences.
Hasmah breathed her last around 9.25 am yesterday at the National Heart Institute at the age of 100. She was accorded state honors when she was laid to rest at the National Palace in Putrajaya yesterday. Mokhzani Mahathir said Hasmah was in good spirits the night before her demise, but her health deteriorated sharply the following day.
Mukhriz Mahathir said her father was by her side until her last breath. The couple had been married for 70 years.
