KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his condolences to the family of blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, who died in United Kingdom last night.
“My condolences to the family of blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, or RPK, who was reported to have died in Manchester, United Kingdom.
“I pray that his soul is granted forgiveness by Allah SWT and that his family be given strength and resilience, Insya-Allah,” Anwar wrote on Facebook.
Born on Sept 27, 1950, in Surrey, England, Raja Petra ran the Malaysia Today website, where he offered his perspectives on Malaysian politics.
