KUALA LUMPUR: The Senate today conveyed its condolences to the family of Tun Rahah Mohamed Noah, widow of second Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, who died last Friday.

Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim described Tun Rahah as the "joint bones" to the late Tun Abdul Razak when he was alive, which had enabled her husband to serve well and become the most respected Prime Minister during his time.
