Selangor DUN observes minute's silence to mourn Khalid Ibrahim's death

SHAH ALAM: The Selangor State Legislative Assembly (DUN) observed a minute of silence to mourn the passing of former Selangor Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, who breathed his last at the Cardiac Vascular Sentral Hospital in Kuala Lumpur last night.

Menteri Besar Selangor Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, as the Leader of the House, called on all assemblymen to stand and offer prayers for Abdul Khalid, who had held the post of Menteri Besar from 2008 to 2014.

Abdul Khalid, 76, breathed his last at 11.08 pm yesterday. A post on his Facebook page announced that Abdul Khalid had been warded since April 23 due to an infection of a heart valve.

The Kuala Selangor-born leader leaves behind a wife Puan Sri Salbiah Tunut, four children and two grandchildren.

In keeping with a decree of the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, Abdul Khalid will be laid to rest at the Shah Alam Royal Mausoleum in Section 5.
