A nation in mourning



The prime minister's wife Datin Seri Endon Mahmood passed away this morning after losing her battle to breast cancer. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer about 5 years ago and had lost her twin to the same disease in 2003. Her death comes as a shock to Malaysians as more recent reports have down played her illness . It has been only 18 days since she returned from the states after undergoing chemotherapy there. May her soul rest in peace.

We've all gotta die of something. The trick is, if you can do someone some good before you go, then do.

By being a public figure who was prepared to go public about her illness, she will have encouraged women to get themselves checked and treated.

That is a great legacy for any lady.
