Tun M needs time to come to terms with wife's death
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad needs some time to come to terms with the death of his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, said his son, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is taking time to process the passing of his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, according to his son Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir. The elder Mahathir is currently under observation at the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Kuala Lumpur following the loss of his spouse, who passed away on Monday at the age of 100.
Mukhriz explained that remaining at the IJN would prevent his father from being constantly reminded of his late wife, as being at home would likely trigger painful associations. Tun Mahathir, who met his wife while they were both studying medicine in Singapore, has acknowledged her significant contributions to maternal and child health and community welfare.
