Yahoo Malaysia News:
Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's wife, Endon Mahmood, died Thursday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 64.
Official news agency Bernama quoted Abdullah as saying his wife died at 7:55 a.m. at his official residence in Putrajaya, the federal administrative capital.
Their son, Kamaludin, told reporters that family members were at her side when she passed away.
"My mother died peacefully. She managed to meet all the family members before passing away," he said.
On his father, Abdullah, he said, "He is coping as well as can be."
Abdullah and Endon were married on Sept. 4, 1965. Abdullah often called Endon his "number one supporter."
Endon was an influential figure in Abdullah's life and was instrumental in persuading him to seek the premiership. Abdullah, 65, became prime minister in October 2003.
Without his pillar of support, there were concerns that Abdullah may not be able to carry on his duty as before but Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak gave assurances that such would not be the case.
"He is very calm. He is very religious. He has come to terms with it," he said.
Endon discovered she had breast cancer after her twin sister Noraini was diagnosed with the ailment in early 2003. Noraini died a year later.
Endon had since made regular trips to the United States for chemotherapy treatment.
She came back from treatment in Los Angeles early this month after spending about three months there. She was hospitalized upon her return and was discharged Monday.
Her death was mourned by the whole nation. Thousands braved the rain to pay their respects at the sprawling hilltop official residence of the prime minister.
Parliament was adjourned until Monday. All government events were cancelled and local television stations broadcast prayers.
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsieng Loong and Thai Deputy Prime Minister Surakiart Sathirathai were among foreign dignitaries from the region attending the funeral.
Endon was buried in Putrajaya Muslim cemetery according to Muslim rites.
Endon and Abdullah also have a daughter, Nori, and four grandchildren. Endon's mother, a Japanese who converted to Islam when she married Endon's father and now goes by her Muslim name Mariam Abdullah, was with her when she passed away.
