His eldest son, Muhammad Azmi Syahmi, 34, shared that his father was buried at the Bukit Alif Cemetery, here at 11am.
According to him, in addition to family members, relatives, and acquaintances, several fellow local artistes were also present at the funeral.
"We are grateful to everyone who came to offer moral support to our grieving family," he said.
Meanwhile, Persatuan Karyawan Malaysia's (Karyawan) Melaka chairman and member of the Karyawan Malaysia high committee, Datuk Zainal Abu Bakar, said he attended the funeral alongside committee members Mohd Rizal Zakaria and Nor Azniza Che Zainudin.
He added that the association also extended a contribution to the late Ab Malek's family via Azmi.
"I have known the late Ab Malek for 10 years. When we first met, he was managing Mamat of Exist at a concert in Melaka.
"At the time, he introduced himself, and I was struck by his humility.
"After that, we stayed in touch. Last November, I planned to visit him upon hearing that he was unwell.
"However, I never got the chance. I would like to extend my condolences to his family.
"His passing is a great loss to the local music industry. May he rest in peace," he said.
Ab Malek breathed his last at the Melana Indah People's Housing Project (PPR) in Taman Melana, here at 6.30pm yesterday.
Previously, he had been admitted to Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) for treatment after suffering a stroke, which forced him to take a break from singing.
