The wife of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Noor Yvonne Abdullah, 68, died at a medical centre in Subang Jaya yesterday.

Her granddaughter, Tengku Nazeehah Tengku Mahmud, 36, said Noor Yvonne was  suffering from multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, and received treatment at the medical centre since last month.

Her remains arrived at her house in Jalan Langgak Golf, off Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur at 9.45pm.

Those who paid their last respects included International Trade and Industry Minister Mustapa Mohamed and Communications and Multimedia Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak extended his condolences to Tengku Razaleigh, who is Gua Musang Member of Parliament, on the demise of his wife.

“May her soul be blessed. Al-Fatihah,” he said in his Twitter posting.

Funeral prayers are scheduled for 10.30am today before burial at the Muslim cemetery in Jalan Ampang.
