The wife of former Sarawak Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud says her only concern is her husband’s wellbeing.
Toh Puan Raghad Kurdi Taib expressed that news and images circulated on social media about her over the past few days have tainted her image and reputation.
She humbly requested for assumptions and malicious accusations towards her to cease, as her priority is her husband’s care at this time. She urged against believing rumors being said about her.

Raghad also stated in an open letter to Sarawakians on Tuesday (Feb 6) that although she was foreign-born, she was now a Malaysian.
She emphasized that she would not leave the country but would continue to do charity work for Sarawakians after Taib regains his health.
“I hope all of you can come together and pray for Tun Taib,” she added.
On Monday (Feb 5), police said they were investigating a report against Raghad for removing Taib from a private hospital here.

The police report, which went viral on social media, alleged that Taib was “absconded” from the hospital against medical advice by Raghad at close to midnight on Saturday (Feb 3).
This was followed by another report by one of Taib’s brothers claiming that his family members did not know where the former Governor was and were “gravely concerned” about his health and safety.
However, Raghad denied allegations that she had taken Taib out of hospital against doctors’ advice.
“That’s not true. This is the proof,” she said in an Instagram story with a photo of a note believed to be from a nurse.
