| Lo’Lo’ dies of cancer, no by-election Posted: 17 Jul 2011 08:55 AM PDT PETALING JAYA: PAS Titiwangsa MP Dr Lo'Lo' Ghazali has died of cancer. She was 54. PAS vice-president Salahuddin Ayub confirmed that Lo'Lo' had passed away. A posting in her Facebook account said she died at about 10.20pm Sunday Night. Her body had been brought the Al-Akram Mosque in Datuk Keramat to be prepared for burial. Earlier in the day, PKR Youth exco member Badrul Hisham Saharin or better known as Che'gu Bard and several other opposition MPs had tweeted that Dr Lo'Lo' had already passed away. "Al-Fatihah to one of our fighters who never gives up. YB Dr Lolo has passed away," said Badrul on his twitter account. Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in his twitter account at 2pm yesterday: "Al-fatihah- we lost a friend and a fighter...who passed away a moment ago." Both leaders later apologised for the confusion over their earlier tweets claiming Dr Lo'Lo' had died. "Sorry for the wrong information. The rumours about the death of YB Dr Lolo were untrue. She is still under treatment. "Lets pray for the best. Sorry again," said Badrul. Her death will not result in a by-election as the current 12th Parliament had served its three-year mandate as at April 28 this year.
