First Rembau MP dies

The first MP for Rembau Firdaus Muhammad Rom Harun died today. He was 73

His son, Muhammad Faliq said his father, who had kidney problems, passed away at about 12.50pm at their family home in Taman Paroi Jaya in Seremban.

“My father was strict but loving, and a leader with the people’s interest at heart.  I was with him for the past two or three days, and he seemed fine. My mother died in February last year,” he told Bernama.

Firdaus was Rembau MP from 2004-2008. Prior to that, he was Chembong assemblyperson from 1995 to 2004 and was also political secretary to then menteri besar Mohamad Hasan from 2008 to 2010.

Faliq said his father's remains will be taken to Masjid At-Taqwa, Paroi, at 6pm today for the funeral prayer, and the burial is after the Maghrib prayer at the Kampung Baru Paroi Islamic Cemetery on Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah.
