KUCHING: Former Sibuti Member of Parliament, Datuk Ahmad Lai Bujang, died at the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Kuala Lumpur at 5.30am today. He was 70.
His son, Nazri, said that Ahmad Lai’s remains will be transported to his hometown of Miri for the funeral prayer at Masjid Kampung Luak, to be held this evening.
Ahmad Lai became the Sibuti MP in the 12th General Election (GE12) after defeating PKR candidate Dr Michael Teo Yu Keng.
He successfully defended his seat in the GE13 against candidate Muhammad Zaid Tandang, but withdrew from contesting in the GE14 over his worsening health.
