Bonda saya sudah tiada.
Kami sekeluarga di hospital.
Kesedihan dan air mata mengalir.
Tiada kata-kata untuk kehilangan ini.

Tun Rahah was born in Muar, Johor, in 1933. Her late father was Tan Sri Mohammad Noah Omar, who was one of Umno’s founders and later appointed the first speaker of the Dewan Rakyat. – The Vibes, December 18, 2020
