Rahah Mohd Noah, the widow of Malaysia’s second prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein and mother of sixth premier Najib Razak, has died. She was 87.
In a tweet, Najib expressed his sadness of his mother’s passing.
“Bonda (mother) is no longer here. Our entire family is at the hospital.
“The sadness and the tears are flowing. There are no words to describe this loss,” he tweeted on Friday.
Earlier, Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa tweeted the passing of Najib’s mother.
Malaysia’s King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah and the Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah were among the dignitaries who had visited the ailing Rahah who was warded at the Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

Rahah was born in Muar, Johor in 1933.
Her late father, Haji Mohammad Noah bin Omar, was one of the founders of Umno and went on to become the first speaker of Malaysia’s parliament.
Rahah married Abdul Razak on September 4,1952. The couple were blessed with five sons, including former CIMB Bank chairman Mohamed Nazir Razak, Ahmad Johari, Mohamed Nizam and Mohamed Nazim.
