  "account": "IPOH, Oct 19 - Over 25,000 individuals from throughout Malaysia and even Indonesia have paid homage to the late Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali's grave in the weeks since her demise, according to Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, her son. The unprecedented number of visitors reached 25,000, a phenomenon that has never been witnessed before. Mukhriz, representing the Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) and officiating the party's Perak state annual convention, said that seeing so many people at the grave helped alleviate his father, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's grief over losing his partner of 70 years. Visitors expressed their admiration for his mother's lifelong dedication and the struggles she endured. Many took time off work to visit the grave, recite Surah Yasin, perform tahlil prayers, and offer blessings. Mukhriz emphasized that the outpouring of respect demonstrated the enduring legacy of Tun Dr Siti Hasmah, a devoted doctor, especially for rural communities, whose contributions remain highly respected today.",
