KOTA KINABALU: Former Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, 66, died early Friday morning, according to a Facebook post by his son, Naim Kurniawan Moktar.

Naim said the six-term Kinabatangan MP breathed his last at 1.46am on Friday (Dec 5).

It was earlier reported that Bung had been in critical condition at Gleneagles Hospital here, where he was receiving intensive treatment for a lung infection.

His passing comes just days after he was re-elected for a second term as Lamag assemblyman in the Nov 29 Sabah state election.
