  "summary": "The New Straits Times reports that members of the public continued to visit Pusara Negara in Putrajaya to pay their respects to the late Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali on the morning of the publication date. Visitors arrived as early as 8am, visibly saddened by the occasion, and engaged in various acts of remembrance. They recited Surah Yasin, sprinkled rosewater, stood silently in prayer, and recited Quranic verses beside her grave. Dr Siti Hasmah, who was the wife of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, passed away at the age of 100 after dedicating her career to public healthcare in Malaysia. Born in Kampung Jawa, Klang, Selangor, in 1926, she was the first Malay woman to qualify as a doctor in the country.",
