Entertainment journalist Siti Nor Hafiza dies in London

Entertainment journalist Siti Nor Hafiza Kamarudin, who was reported to be in critical condition, has died at Charing Cross Hospital, London. She was 40.

The sad news was shared by her husband, Mohd Roshdi Ramli, who informed that she breathed her last at 3pm local time (11pm Malaysian time).

“The latest development is that she (Siti Nor Hafiza) has just breathed her last at 3 pm,” he told Bernama.

Earlier, Roshdi told Bernama that his wife’s condition had deteriorated and her blood pressure was very low.

He said that Siti Hafiza was battling a recurrence of breast cancer, which reemerged after six years of being in remission.

Siti Hafiza was being treated at the hospital after reportedly losing consciousness at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday while en route to Malaysia after a vacation.

The journalist, associated with the portals Boom Malaysia and Jurnal Malaysia, owned by KRU Media, was selected to receive a sponsored travel package with her family to London and departed with her husband and their two children in the middle of this month.

Meanwhile, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has extended his condolences to the family.

“Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un. Just this evening, I made a post about journalist Fiza Kamarudin being in critical condition in a London hospital.

“Tonight, I received sad news. She has passed away. My condolences to the family of the late Fiza Kamaruddin. May her family endure this heavy trial with fortitude. Al-Fatihah,” he said in a post on Facebook.
