Belantek state assemblyperson Mohd Isa Shafie died at the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital (HSAH) in Sungai Petani tonight.
He was 69.
News of his death was shared by Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor on his Facebook page.
“I received news that Dato (Isa) died at about 11.23pm at the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital (HSAH) in Sungai Petani. Condolences to all his family members,” he posted on Facebook yesterday.
Previously, the media reported that Isa, who was also a Kedah PAS committee member, received treatment at the intensive care unit of the HSAH after suffering from a bacterial infection in the heart, lungs and kidneys last month.
In the 14th general election (GE14), Isa won the Belantek state seat with a majority of 2,574 votes after garnering 9,600 votes to defeat Barisan Nasional candidate Mohd Tajudin Abdullah (7,026 votes) and PKR's Abdul Rashid Abdullah (2,376 votes).
Kedah, which did not hold its state election simultaneously with GE15 last November, will hold its state polls soon with five other states.
