"He didn’t sleep much yesterday, and earlier he had asked for the names of relatives who had died to conduct a kenduri tahlil....who knew he would go so suddenly, on Friday, his body is still in Kuantan and funeral rites will be conducted here,” she said, adding that the funeral would likely be held tomorrow in Seremban.
