KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has conveyed his condolences to the family of blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, who passed away in the United Kingdom last night, in a Facebook post today.

“Condolences to the family of blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, also known as RPK, who was reported to have passed away last night in Manchester, United Kingdom. I am deeply saddened and pray that his soul is granted forgiveness by Allah SWT and that his family is granted strength and resilience, Insya-Allah,” said Anwar.

Born on September 27, 1950, in Surrey, England, the late Raja Petra had studied at Kolej Melayu Kuala Kangsar and Victoria Institution, according to Bernama.

He founded the website Malaysia Today, which built a huge following by publishing political conspiracy theories about the political class.

He was survived by a wife, five children and two grandkids.
