Tun Dr. Hasmah Mohd Ali: Tributes and archival footage emerge

Following the passing of Tun Dr. Hasmah Mohd Ali, archival recordings have surfaced providing a glimpse into her personal character. Journalist Zaharah Othman discovered old footage from 1987 to 2014 while organizing files, including a lighthearted moment where Dr. Hasmah jokingly remarked, “Cik Mah bukan sombong, Mak!”

In response to her passing, members of the public have expressed their condolences. Nur Athirah Sidek, a private sector worker from Kuching, Sarawak, traveled to Putrajaya to visit Dr. Hasmah’s grave at Pusara Negara. Sidek expressed sympathy for Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, noting the deep respect Malaysians hold for the couple and their 70-year marriage.
