Zakaria Deros dies of heart attack

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Former Port Klang State Assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Mat Deros, 61, died of a heart attack at his “Istana Zakaria” early today.

A doctor who was called in to his palatial home pronounced him dead at 2.30am.

Zakaria last year hogged the headlines for the building of the 2 1/2-storey palatial mansion, which boasts 16 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms, built on 43,000 sq feet of land in Kampung Idaman.

Selangor Barisan Nasional dropped the controversial politician from the line-up for the general election. He was replaced by his daughter-in-law Roselinda Abdul Jamil as the candidate for the seat, which she lost to Badrul Hisham Abdullah of PKR. - NST
