Syed Saddiq remembers Siti Hasmah through love, legacy

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman opted to honor the late Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali by highlighting her life, love, and contributions to the nation, rather than focusing solely on her passing. He acknowledged that different individuals cope with loss in various ways, but emphasized that the intention behind one's response was what truly mattered.

In a post on Instagram, Syed Saddiq noted that Dr Siti Hasmah's demise was not just the loss of a prominent figure, but also the end of an extraordinary love story between two individuals who supported each other throughout their lives. The relationship between the two was described by Syed Saddiq as more than a romantic one; it was a deep friendship and companionship that persisted until the very end.

He further suggested that when love alone fails to capture the depth of their connection, it transforms into a profound bond of companionship. As a life companion and a steadfast support during times of struggle, she remained by his side until the very end. Syed Saddiq also remembered Dr Siti Hasmah as someone who consistently made those around her feel cherished, loved, and special.

She continued to serve those in need, regardless of their background, throughout her life. By choosing to grieve in this manner, Syed Saddiq sought to celebrate her life, the love she bestowed, and the lasting legacy she left behind in Malaysia. He stated that he chose to remember her not just with tears, but by commemorating the life she lived, the love she shared, and the indelible mark she left on Malaysia's history and the hearts of many.
