       Her passing was confirmed by her niece Rozita Rohaizad, 64, who said that the actress died peacefully in her sleep at 2.20am after a few days of feeling weak with loss of appetite due to diarrhoea since Tuesday (Aug 17).

       "The doctor who came to examine my aunt advised her to undergo treatment at home because her condition was deteriorating.
