THE PASSING OF THE HONORARY CONSUL OF MALAYSIA TO THE REPUBLIC OF MADAGASCAR MR HOUSSENALY ZAHID RAZA ON 24 AUGUST 2017

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia would like to extend its condolences and deep sympathy to the family of the late Mr. Houssenaly Zahid Raza, the Honorary Consul of Malaysia to the Republic of Madagascar. He passed away on 24 August 2017 in Antananarivo, Madagascar and leaves behind a wife and three children.

Mr. Raza was a respected and well-known businessman in Madagascar. On this basis, the Government of Malaysia appointed him as the Honorary Consul of Malaysia to the Republic of Madagascar in December 2013 for a three-year term. Given his outstanding performance in safeguarding and promoting Malaysia’s interests in Madagascar, the Government of Malaysia renewed his contract for the same post for another three-year term until December 2019.

Mr. Raza’s contribution toward the strengthening of bilateral relations between Malaysia and the Republic of Madagascar will always be greatly appreciated and remembered by the Government of Malaysia. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, children and family.
