KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil expressed his condolences to the family of national theatre activist and former head of the Theatre Department at the National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (Aswara) Rosminah Mohd Tahir, who died today.
In a brief posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), Fahmi said Rosminah was one of his sources of inspiration when he was active in theatre some time ago.
"May Allah SWT shower His mercy upon her soul and place her among the righteous. Condolences to the entire family,” he said.
