    “Death is an inevitable and universal human experience that marks the end of a person’s life. It’s a profound and complex phenomenon that can evoke a wide range of emotions, from sadness and grief to reflection and celebration. Death can also be a transformative experience that shapes the lives of those who are left behind, often prompting us to re-evaluate our priorities, values, and relationships.

    “Rt. Hon.

    “As we mourn the loss of this extraordinary woman, we take comfort in the knowledge that her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched and the many initiatives she championed.

    “My family and I extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, colleagues, and constituents. May her remarkable legacy continue to inspire and motivate us to strive for excellence in public service. Rest in peace, Ijaya.
