Former Melor assemblyperson Wan Ismail Wan Jusoh, 66, died of Covid-19 at the Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital in Kuala Krai, Kelantan today, according to a family member.
His wife Siti Madinah Ilyas Khan, 59, said Wan Ismail, who was confirmed Covid-19 positive on Aug 7, died at about 12.20pm.
"He was transferred to the intensive care unit on Aug 15. He had completed both doses of the Covid-19 vaccination,” she told Bernama.
She said Wan Ismail, who was suffering from diabetes, had been placed under an induced coma on Monday.
"Our whole family contracted Category 1 Covid-19 and was undergoing home quarantine in Telipot. Our family members in Melor were also infected,” she added.
She said Wan Ismail was buried at the Bechah Keranji cemetery in Melor, near Kota Bharu, at 5.30pm today.
He leaves behind two wives, Norizan Yusoff, 60, and Siti Madinah, 11 children and three step-children.
Wan Ismail was the Melor representative for two terms, 1999-2004 and 2008-2013, and the Ketereh PAS chief.
Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob, on behalf of the state government, extended his condolences to Wan Ismail's family.
“May his soul be blessed and placed among the righteous,” he said on Facebook.
