  "account": "Dr Hasmah Ali passed away at the age of 100 at Persatuan Rumah Sakit Negara (IJN) in the early hours of today, according to her son Mokhzani Mahathir. The Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) hailed Dr Hasmah Ali as a figure who helped elevate the status of Malaysian women across various fields, including health, education, and economy during the tenure of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Takiyuddin Hassan, the Grand Secretary of PAS, expressed that her passing is a loss to both her family and the entire Malaysian nation. PAS described her loss as a great one, mourning her wife, mother, and the beloved grandmother she was to them. In a statement released, PAS Secretary for Information Fadhli Shaari described Hasmah as a respected woman figure, known for her contributions as a doctor and a community figure. He added that throughout Dr Mahathir's life, Hasmah was always by his side, through various phases of joy and sorrow, whether he was at the helm of the nation or not. Born on July 12, 1926, Hasmah was one of the early Malay female doctors who served in public health before becoming active in various community activities, particularly related to health and welfare. She was married to Mahathir on August 5, 1956, and had four children: Marina, Mirzan, Mokhzani, and Mukhriz. They also took in three adopted children: Melinda, Mazhar, and Maizura.",
