ALOR SETAR - Mr M Karupaiya, opposition alliance Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) candidate for the Padang Serai parliamentary seat, has died on Wednesday.

The cause of his death is not known yet.

Mr Karupaiya, who is from Parti Keadilan Rakyat, won the Padang Serai seat in Kedah in the last election with a majority 8,813 of votes.

He is seeking a second term in Malaysia’s upcoming polls on Nov 19, in a tight race against Perikatan Nasional’s Azman Nasrudin, Barisan Nasional’s Sivaraj Chandran, Pejuang’s Hamzah Abd Rahman, Warisan’s Mohd Bakhri Hashim and independent candidate Sreanandha Rao.

PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said in a media statement that he last met Mr Karupaiya at a PH rally in Kulim, Kedah on Monday, adding that Mr Karupaiya was able to give a short speech. His passing is a “great loss to the party”, Mr Saifuddin said.

The Election Commission (EC) will issue a statement on Mr Karupaiya’s death. - THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
