Umno's NS state rep Roslan dies

Johol state representative Roslan Md Yusof passed away at about 4am today after suffering from possible lung complications.

Roslan (right) has been suffering from ill-health over the past few years.

In 2009, Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohamad Hasan came out to deny rumours that Roslan, who was from Umno, had died.

According to MB, Roslan was on a month-long leave to undergo physiotherapy at the hospital after suffering a slipped disc following a fall during a badminton game.

Roslan is expected to be buried later today.

There will, however, be no by-election as the Negeri Sembilan State Assembly has gone passed two-thirds of its term. The vacancy in Johol will be filled at the next general election.
