PUTRAJAYA, Oct 1 — Former Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad paid his respects at the grave of his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, on the third day after her death at the age of 100. The 101-year-old former leader arrived at the Pusara Negara cemetery in Presint 20 around 11:05 am, accompanied by family members.
