Mahathir, accompanied by family members, paid his final respects during the funeral rites for his spouse, Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali. The 101-year-old, who was seated in a motorized wheelchair, was observed crying as he prayed and scattered rose petals at the grave site, according to the New Straits Times. The news outlet also reported that Mahathir had stopped by the grave site on his way home from the National Heart Institute, where he had undergone regular treatment.
