Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, died on December 29, 2024, at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 100.
Carter died after years of battling health problems, including melanoma that had spread to his heart and brain.
Since February 2023, he has been under hospice care, choosing to live out the rest of his life in peace.
Known as a peanut farmer in Georgia before entering politics, Carter made world history with the 1978 Camp David Accords, which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize and made him a symbol of peace.
Although his presidency was marred by economic decline and the Iran Detainee Crisis, Carter is remembered as a generous leader who made a global impact after leaving office.
He championed human rights, brokered peace agreements, and was unafraid to uphold principles on issues of nuclear disarmament and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, even though his stances often conflicted with mainstream politics.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also paid his last respects to Carter in a Facebook post, praising his dedication to fighting for justice, especially regarding Palestine.
Anwar described Carter as a leader who valued principles over politics, making him a true role model in the world of leadership.
