  "account": "Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressed disbelief at his wife's sudden passing, Dr Hasmah Ali, according to a video shared on his social media account. The video shows Dr Mahathir appearing visibly distraught as he converses with Sultan Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who had kindly visited the family. Al-Sultan Abdullah was accompanied by Tunku Azizah Aminah, his consort, and Tunku Mahkota Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah.\n\nDr Mahathir reassured the Sultan, stating, \"She seemed healthy last night.\" He also thanked the royal family for traveling from Pahang to pay respects and offer final tributes to his late wife. Hasmah breathed her last around 9:25 am yesterday at the National Heart Institute, aged 100. She was accorded state honors during her lying-in-state at the State Palace in Putrajaya yesterday. Mokhzani Mahathir mentioned that Hasmah appeared cheerful the night before her demise but her health declined suddenly the following day. Mukhriz Mahathir confirmed that her husband had been by her side until her very last breath. Together, they had been married for 70 years.",
