——路透社 马哈蒂尔·穆罕默德的妻子西蒂·哈斯玛·穆罕默德·阿里于周一去世，这位资深领导人的办公室宣布了这一消息。
Malaysia's former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad sits with his wife Siti Hasmah Mohammad Ali during the launching of Perkasa, a Malay rights organisation, in Kuala Lumpur on March 27, 2010. — Reuters Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, the wife of Malaysia's longest-serving Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, died on Monday, the veteran leader's office said.
据国家新闻机构Bernama援引夫妇的儿子莫克扎尼·马哈蒂尔的话称，100岁的西蒂·哈斯玛在国立心脏研究所去世。目前尚无更多详细信息。
Siti Hasmah, 100, died at the National Heart Institute, the state news agency Bernama said, citing the couple's son Mokhzani Mahathir. No further details were immediately available.
马哈蒂尔被誉为马来西亚现代化建设的推动者，他共担任了两届总理，任期超过二十年。
Often credited with modernising Malaysia, Mahathir, 101, served two stints as premier, totalling more than two decades.
在1981年至2003年的第一个任期里，他推动了马来西亚的快速工业发展，使该国成为东南亚的经济强国。
During his first tenure between 1981 and 2003, he oversaw a period of rapid industrial growth, turning Malaysia into one of Southeast Asia's economic tigers.
2018年他复出执政，成为该国最年长的总理，当时他退出退休后成功推翻了卷入数十亿美元金融丑闻的时任领导人纳吉布·拉扎克。
He returned to the top job in 2018, becoming the country's oldest prime minister after coming out of retirement to topple the then-leader Najib Razak, who was involved in the multibillion-dollar financial scandal.
他的第二个任期在2020年因党内纷争结束，执政时间不到两年。
Mahathir's second stint in office ended in less than two years after his coalition collapsed in 2020 amid political infighting.
马哈蒂尔与西蒂·哈斯玛在20世纪40年代末同时就读于新加坡的医学院相识。
Mahathir met Siti Hasmah while they were both attending medical school in Singapore in the late 1940s.
这对夫妇在8月庆祝了结婚70周年，育有七个孩子，包括商人莫克扎尼、社会活动家玛丽娜·马哈蒂尔和政治家穆克里斯·马哈蒂尔。
The couple, who celebrated 70 years of marriage in August, raised seven children, including businessman Mokhzani, social activist Marina Mahathir, and politician Mukhriz Mahathir.
西蒂·哈斯玛本人也备受尊敬，她以谦逊的性格和幽默感著称，这与她丈夫直言不讳的风格形成鲜明对比。作为政治伴侣，她致力于公共卫生、计划生育等社会事业。
A popular figure in her own right, Siti Hasmah was known for her unassuming personality and good humour, which contrasted with her husband's blunt and acerbic style. As a political spouse, she championed public health, family planning and other social causes.
马哈蒂尔曾形容她是自己成功的支柱，并赞赏她获得大学学位的决心——这在当时马来西亚的马来女性中非常罕见。‘我认为，这体现了她的坚强品格，’他在2018年说道。
Mahathir once described her as the backbone of his success, and said he admired her determination to obtain a university degree, a rarity among ethnic Malay women at the time. "That, I think, reflects her strength of character," he told in 2018.
