Malaysian songstress Siti Sarah Raisuddin passed away close to dawn yesterday, after a battle with Covid-19.
She had been intubated at the Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM Hospital (HCTM) on Aug 6 while seven months pregnant and the baby, named Ayash Affan - her fourth child with her husband comedian Shuib Sepahtu - was safely delivered via surgery on the same day...
Ayash Affan was named after a Palestinian activist.
Last month, during Eid Adha, she sacrified cows to be distributed to the Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
Cinta Gaza Malaysia Chief Executive Officer, Muhammad Nadir Al-Nuri Kamaruzaman revealed that singer Siti Sarah had participated in sacrificial rituals in Palestine by donating cows worth thousands of ringgit.
"After that, she kept in touch and asked about the situation of the Palestinians in Palestine, "he said in a post on Facebook.
The 36-year-old award-winning artiste left behind three other children - Uwais Alqarni, 10, Dzahira Talita Zahra, 8, and Ariq Matin, 6.
On July 27, Siti Sarah confirmed that she and several other family members tested positive for Covid-19, after one of her assistants was infected.
