KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed condolences to the family of Mahkota assemblyman Datuk Sharifah Azizah Syed Zain who passed away Friday (Aug 2).
"Received the sad news of the passing of Mahkota assemblywoman Datuk Sharifah Azizah Syed Zain. Wishing her family be granted strength and patience, and may Allah forgive all her sins and grant her the best in Jannah,” he posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Sharifah Azizah, who was receiving treatment at Enche’ Besar Hajjah Khalsom Hospital in Kluang, breathed her last on Friday, at the age of 63.
Her remains would be laid to rest at Kampung Melayu Muslim cemetery later Friday.
Sharifah Azizah, who was Kluang Wanita Umno chief, was reported to have been admitted to the hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties on Tuesday (July 30) before her condition turned critical due to internal bleeding on Wednesday (July 31).

From 2018 to 2022, she was the assemblyman for Penawar. - Bernama
