In an Instagram post, Raghad shared that she had returned to Kuching to visit her late husband’s grave and make a charitable donation in his name.
“After Majlis Tautan Kasih Tun Taib in Satok, I drove home but to my surprise, I was not allowed entry to my own house,” she said.
“We were turned away at the gate and the guards told me they did not have authorisation to let me in.”
Raghad said one guard eventually allowed her in, but he was fired for doing so.
She also revealed that Taib’s grave was in poor condition and appeared to have been neglected since his funeral in February
“How shameful and saddening. I don’t think I’m allowed to even keep a single staff member to look after and maintain the grave,” she said.
She expressed sadness and frustration, saying that she should not have to prove her relationship with her husband.
“I have to record this shameful act against me and demand justice. I didn’t share my stories before, but I think it’s time to do so,” she said.
Taib died on Feb 21 at a hospital in Kuala Lumpur. He served as Sarawak governor from 2014 until January this year, and chief minister from 1981 to 2014.
He is widely credited with developing the state through numerous infrastructure projects. In January, he was described by Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg as the “father of modern Sarawak”.
