Sungai Air Tawar assemblyman Kamarol Zaki dies

PETALING JAYA: Sungai Air Tawar assemblyman Kamarol Zaki Abdul Malik passed away this morning at his home in Jalan Haji Jabar, Sabak Bernam.
He is believed to have suffered a heart attack and passed away about 9.30am.
The Umno assemblyman was scheduled to attend a programme at Kampung Sungai Pulai and Kampung Sekendi at 8am.
Kamarol Zaki was believed to be alone at his home during the time of the incident.
However the 58-year-old failed to attend the event and was unreachable by phone.
It is learnt that both his special assistant Saufaat Salimin and press secretary Mohamed Fariq Roslan had to break into his home before discovering Kamarol Zaki's body.
His remains have since been taken by the police to the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Jemaah (HTAJ) in Sabak Bernam for a post-mortem.
During the 2013 general election, the first term assemblyman defeated PAS' Wahid Rais with a majority of 1,416 votes to win the state seat for BN.
A teacher for 37 years, Kamarol Zaki retired as the headmaster of SK Seri Mawar in Sungai Air Tawar to contest in the polls.
He leaves behind wife Rossimah Abbas, also a teacher, and four sons.
